My dear Sir:

I beg to enclose an appreciation of Mrs Stanford
written by me and published in the Advertiser of last Sunday
and also a preamble and resolutions I also prepared for this
meeting of former residents of California, held at the {Young ?}
Hotel. They are anxious to have a suitable place at the { ?}
{ ?} and in accompanying the remains to the steamer. I am
Chairman of what the meeting called "The Committee on Ceremony."

May I be permitted to add, without obtrusion, that, in reference to
the mystery surrounding Mrs Stanford's death, it might be well
for my wife and myself to see you and tell you of some matters
that have not appeared in the proceedings?

With kind regards, I am, my dear Sir,
Faithfully yours
Henry E. Highton

Honorable David Starr Jordan
President Stanford University

N.B. You will receive an { ?} copy of the preamble
and resolutions, which will be sent to you officially.
