strong personality. I have read his sermon which you enclosed with great interest. At the same time, I think we cannot be too careful in making a selection for so important a place as the pulpit of the Stanford University Church. I intend to be very deliberate, and hope and pray that I will not make another mistake.

All that you have sent me concerning Rev. R. J. Campbell has been intensely interesting.

I am very sorry indeed not to have had the pleasure of meeting you. You called on me Fourth of July evening, but I was up at my brother's.

It will be a week to-morrow since I returned from Del Monte, and every day have expected you would drop in upon me. I miss your visits - very much.

I hope that Mrs. Jordan is gaining her strength, and

Dear Dr. Jordan:

The enclosed was evidently sent to me by mistake as it is addressed to the President of the Leland Stanford University.

Sincerely yours,

Mr H. C. Nash,

Dear Sir:

I take this, the first opportunity to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of July 1st, addressed to Mrs Chamberlain.

Believing that it will be impossible to secure the extension of my passes through either Col Crocker or Mr Towne, I have decided not to submit myself to the humiliation of a refusal of my request.

My health has improved somewhat, although I am still far from well. However, with a family on my hands to be supported and educated, I must soon engage in something which will bring me a monetary return, even if it be small. I shall probably return to my old profession of journalism, wherein the knowledge I have gained through experience in other lines of subjects and individuals will be of use in the writing of special articles.
