Jane Lathrop Stanford Papers

Washington, D.C., June 29^th, 1893.

Dear Madam,

Please pardon the liberty I take in expressing my sincere condolence in your crushing bereavement.

My dear Bishop Newman introduced me to yourself and the Sentator, though I coud not expect you to remember the occasion. Bishop Fowler of San Francisco is a staunch friend of mine, and a College class mate for four years, at old Genesee I will only add, if I can be of any use to you in Washington, I will be glad to serve you - I pray God to supply you with all needed grace, I am with great respect

Yours &c. J. N. Dorris P.O. Dept.
