San Francisco,

June 23, 1893.

Dear Mrs. Stanford; -

The national
reputation of your dear
husband increased at
every step of his public
career. He has always
devoted his clear, vigorous
intellect to the thorough
mastery of the important
affairs of the nation
since he was the be-
loved "War Governor
of California."

In the Senate of
the United States his
bearing was unaffected,
modest, combined with
such rectitude of purpose
