Correspondence (incoming ) of Lathrop, Charles, business manager, 1893-1902

Did I not on several occasions, before the Senator's last departure for the East, when seeking an interview with him, mention to you that I also wished to see him in regard to the claim of a Mr Lombard for services rendered as stenographer when we were forming the League?

If my memory serves me right, I showed you a letter written to me on the subject of his claim by Mr Lombard.

Trusting that I may receive an early and favorable response to my request, I am

Yours very truly

[printed letterhead; CLARA FOLTZ, ATTORNEY AT LAW; ROOMS 14 & 15, NINTH FLOOR, MILLS' BUILDING, San Francisco, California,] Aug 28th 1893.

Mr Nash Palo Alto,

My dear Sir:-

You will pardon me I know when I ask your kindly consideration of myself in re any service that I might render you on behalf of Mrs Stanford. I realize, as indeed, I doubt not you do, that a woman lawyer must press herself and [text missing bottom of page] constantly before the

motion from the business world. I am not unwilling to praise myself, but it may not be out of taste, or contrary to good form to refer to my public service in my profession, as in many other fields of usefulness in humanity's name, and to the success attained in each particular effort.

Recognition from Mrs Stanford would command me to the whole world, and should so great a blessing fall to me, my care and prompt attention will prove to you how greatly I appreciate the honor.

Faithfully Yours

Clara Foltz

enclosed in Foltz to H. C. Nash, 8/28/93

My dear Mrs Stanford:-

May I not serve you in some way? Please pardon me for pressing my self upon your attention. I do not do so more in my own interests than in womans cause. Should you ever entrust to me the least service, I will prove your judgment as wise, by my faithful and prompt performance.

You know somewhat

of my public life, and of my success. You also have some knowledge of my family, of whom I am proud. Therefore I am not altogether a stranger to you.

For years I have wished that I might meet you, and during all of that time I have aimed to merit your approval, and be honored by your attention in a professional capacity. My offices are accessable and well appointed, and I will be most glad to be of service to you.

Very Sincerely Yours

Clara Foltz
