Stanford University, Cal.,
Sept. 17, 1900

Mr. H.H. Cooper,
Arcade Station,
Los Angeles, Calif.

Dear Sir:

Some time last spring Mrs. Stanford told me of her desire to establish a scholarship with the money left in the Savings Bank by her son. I helped her to arrange the details somewhat, and she said that she wished her brother, Mr. Charles G. Lathrop, to have the appointment of the holder of this scholarship. She also suggested that if your son were sufficiently advanced and otherwise available, it would be a pleasure to her if he were the first appointee. I wrote to Los Angeles in regad to the matter and received favorable statements, but when I left I had not heard as to whether he was sufficiently advanced to be admitted or not. I refer your letter to Mr. Chas. G. Lathrop, who can tell you what the present status of the scholarship is.

Very truly yours,
David S. Jordan.
