Dear Governor

I deeply sympathize with you and Mrs Stanford in the loss of your boy — your only darling boy — when the telegraph announced the sad event, it cast a gloom over the entire community. Everybody said “what a pity” and can assure you all felt sorry.

Still governor it is as natural [udu?].. as it is to live, but it seems unnatural for a young person to die.

We are getting along out here about the same as when you left. The extra session is a complete puzzle and the “Honorable Bilks” are demoralized, yes sir they are dead and damned now for ever. I am as the heading shows in the employment business. The gap made by the departing

Chinese will have to be filled. Already my communications have been published in nearly all of the papers in this country and most of the English papers.

Tell Mrs Stanford that I will select the proper and necessary help for her when she arrives home, that is if I am worthy of the order. Our state is entering a degree of prosperity this year never before known is her history were it not for the extra session, we would be still better off.

Salutation

Sir:

I have the honor to inclose herewith an annual permit to ride in the postal cars, with the request that you will, when convenient, take advantage of the same to inspect the operations of the service.

Very respectfully,

JNO. JAMESON,

General Superintendent

Hon. Leland Stanford

My Dear [Hayward?]

Such unkind and unwanted attack will surely rouse the “true blues” all along the line - they will sally round his standard — more than ever anxious to do battle for him whom all True Californians most delight to honor

— with kind wishes

yours truly

[Paris?] [Kilburn?]
