Alvarado, Alameda Co. Cal., June 26th, 1889

Leland Stanford Junior University, Gentlemen: I noticed in the papers some time since that your term of school might, or would open, this fall, and having a boy whom I would like to have enter at the very beginning of the institution, I write to request information on the subject, and to ask for a Catalogue or Prospectus if any such are issued. Hoping the University may more than meet the hopes and expections of it generous founder, I remain Yours truly W.F. Ingalls

San [Bernardino?] May 4, 1889

Please inform me when students will be received at the Leland Stanford Jr University and the conditions. My son wants to attend school after his return from the East, which will be about the [1st?] [of?] Sept. Will you have a preparatory [course?] [?] Reply [W.R.?] [Brigham?]

Salida Colorado June 19th 1887 Hon Leland Stanford,

Dear Sir, I have just read an account of your university which is being built at Palo Alto Cal. I would like very much to have my children trained at an institution of the kind, and I thought I would write and see if I could learn something in regard to the workings of the institution, to know whether I would be able to send my children. If someone interested in the concern would be kind enough

to tell me something about the institution whether it will be very expensive for children to attend. I will be ever so much obliged, Very Resectfully [Layton?] [Jay?] Salida Chafee Co Colo

Will you kindly advise me when the latter will open - if this year etc. and greatly oblige. Very respectfully yours [C.M.?] Jennings
