Mrs Leland Stanford Menlo Park Cal.

Dear Madam,

Accept in this your hour of deepest sorrow, the profound sympathies of a Methodist Minister - who has for years admired the life and work of your illustrious husband. May God sustain you!

In harmony with Mr. Stanfords great spirit to enlighten and elevate the generations to be. I have desired to perpetuate his memory and emulate his example, though in an humble way in this place

Now with your gracious counsel - and help the work can be wrought.

It is this to dedicate, on the part of his friends, a Public Library and Reading-room, to his memory, in the town of Boulder - an extra prize begun already in a general way

We have a splendid building of two stories in course of construction - Ground floor for Library and Reading-room 24 x 48 a flat above for rental - When fully equiped the property will be worth about ^$ 3.000

The R.R. Co. has donated the lot and and we have the most desirable location in town.

As financial agent I will send you one of our subscription papers. We have here one gentleman who says he will place ^$500. worth of books in the Library at once, on completion of building -

The property is to be owned and conducted by a corporation of ladies - And I believe in the providence of God it will be a mighty factor for good in our midst. Hoping to hear from you soon I am Respectfully, S. E. Crowe, M. E. Pastor over
