Dr. D.S. Jordan Dear friend

I hope you will not allow the shortness of time, before you start on your trip, to interfere with your allowing me to read the article you mentioned in relation to the Ross affair.

It would disappoint me not to see it but it would greatly surprise and disapp-

-oint me if anything should be made public before I had been allowed to see it - for you know dear friend I have been the sufferer.

Your friend Jane L. Stanford June 11th 1903.

Dr. David S. Jordan. President of the Leland Stanford Jr University

Kind friend:-

Your communication of June 10th, relative to your library of Zoology, has just been received.

I can well understand your love for these books with which you have so long been associated, and this very fact makes me appreciate more highly the sentiment which influenced you to pre-

sent the books to me, and through me to be presented to the Library of the Leland Stanford Jr. University. It shall be arranged according to your wishes, and the authorities governing the Library will be instructed that this special Library is to be called the "Dr. David Starr Jordan Library, a gift to the Leland Stanford Jr. University".

I accept the books, and your testimonial of interest in me, as a token of regard and, respect from one whom I have felt honored to be associated with.

Yours gratefully, Jane L. Stanford

Dr. David S. Jordan Stanford University, Cal.

Dear Sir:-

I have decided to continue the Hygiene Department as heretofore the next two years, in the same building without alterations

Respectfully Jane L. Stanford
