My dear Mrs. Stanford:
Your letter asking for a permit to erect a monument to Father Serra, on the Monterey Military Reservation, was duly received. I do not think there can be any objection to it, but I have asked for a report from General Miles, Commanding the Division of the Pacific, with reference to it, and as soon as his reply is received, I will write you again in regard to it.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. Jane L. Stanford,
#1701 K Street.

I remain With the highest respect Nelson A. Miles Major General U.S. Army
