to have the workmen commence
the group in marble please write me
and I will see that it is done in the
most thorough and artistic manner.
If there are any changes to be made in
your costume in the group that can be
done when the work is nearly completed.

I am very proud of the Family Group
and hope I may sometime see it in
its position in the Leland Stanford University

I hope we may see you on this side
after the winter months are over.
Will you please remember me to Mr Nash
as I always associate him with the
time when I formed the acquaintance of
Senator Stanford and yourself.

Poor Geo Maquay the banker died some
months ago, and the Maquay Hooker bank
was obliged to close its doors a month ago
on account of a run on the bank.

I think they will pay their creditors in full
and continue their business.

With best wishes,
and high regards,

Larkin G. Mead
