Mrs. Leland Stanford:

Dear Madam:-

Owing to personal kindness

I feel I must add my expression of regret at this most
sorrowful time. Only a few months ago, as it seems to
me now (though it was just before his departure for Wash-

his many great problems, to help me to solve my
small one.

He always remembered me from the time I was a small
