To Dr. David Starr Jordan:

We are deep in sorrow. Feeling as we do, we must extend to you, who knew and loved Mrs. Stanford so well, our sincerest sympathies. Any mention of our debt to her is quite impossible, for we have received so much more at her hands than can be ever counted or even adequately realized.
