The Quadrangle Club,
Chicago, March 2, 1905.

Dear Dr. Jordan:

The morning papers announce the death of Mrs.
Stanford. What a fearful tragedy. I hope that the investi-
gations will at least prove it to be due to some ghastly
blunder in mixing or mistaking medicine.

When I introduced myself to Mrs. Stanford last Winter in
Cairo on the strength of my personal acquaintance with you,
and as a Stanford graduate, she received me with a kindly
welcome that was very charming. She spoke a great deal of
you, read me some letters from you, and indeed your name was
in almost every sentence, and I realized how deep was the
impression that your views and efforts had made upon her.

You understood as of course no one else can Mrs. Stanford's
affection and loyalty to you and the University. But it will
be a pleasure to you to know what has been the impression on
others.

Kindly remember us to Mrs. Jordan.

Very sincerely yours,

Bradley M. Davis.
