Jane Lathrop Stanford Papers

3.

United States Senate,

Washington, D. C.

several persons, I know to be friends, and they passed favorably upon the work. I did not want to worry you in regard to the details as the book progresses feeling that you knew I would do the best that I could do or that could be done regardless of the efforts. The publication was delayed for over three months by Mr. Caminetti, who delivered a eulogy and then held it back for revision. We waited for nearly three months for him to return it and finally had to go to press without it. He was requested by vote and personally, several times to send in his address but would not do so. I did not regret it, for I did not want anything that was forced to get in the volume, preferring that it should be spontaneous or not at all. There were other delays also, but I will not annoy you with the details.

Senator Perkins will send you fifty copies (or at least, I will do so for him,)
