Mrs. Leland Stanford, together with her secretary, maid and valet, sailed for Honolulu per S.S. "Sierra" on the 10th instant.

We are informed that Mrs. Stanford may desire to proceed to Japan by our S.S. "China" sailing from your port on April 20th, and we have accordingly reserved accommodations for her and her secretary, etc. Upon receipt hereof will you please have one of your representatives call on Mrs. Stanford (she will probably be staying at the Moana Hotel, or her address can be secured from the First National Bank of your City), and ascertain if it is the lady's intention to do as above indicated; if so, to make all the necessary arrangements for tickets, etc. As above mentioned, we will make necessary reservations on the "China," which, of course, can be cancelled in the event of Mrs. Stanford not making the trip.

Mrs Leland Stanford, Palo Alto,

Dear Madam,

I have but lately returned from a prolonged sojourn in Spanish America + learned of the noble sacrifices by which you are saving a grant University for the youth of America. I have not lived long enough away from my native land to have my interest in Education deadened, + would now beg to tender my sincere congratulations in the premises.

Should I go

to California. I would beg to have the pleasure of saluting you personally. I am Madam, Yours Respectfully John Reid Chandler # 2 / Hart st. Brooklyn, New York.

#526 Jones Street Decr 28/96 My dear Mrs Stanford, As soon as I arrived from the University I called so in hopes to see you: I beg of you to believe that in the unfortunate and saddening recurrences at Roble, I have not been to blame. I feel forsaken by God & man and were it not for the kindness of some old friends particularly Mr & Mrs [J?] Smith who offer me their table would be disheartened

I enclose President Jordan's dismissal, have always felt that my presence at the University was distasteful to him. When will you see me but if you never do I still shall be gratefully yours M. Redding Clement
