Chart hangs on a separate stand, & consequently requires more space for accommodation. I believe I have wisely concluded not to embarrass you with them, unless after having seen them, you had expressed your preference for them.

Before closing my hurried note, permit me, dear Mrs. Stanford to express my unfeigned regret that you leave our vicinity at so early a date. I had hoped to have the pleasure of welcoming you to our Convent home, as our little friend Ethel Ingalls told me it was your intention to call. But, we shall look forward for the promised visit to some future occasion. Meanwhile, if you can spare the leisure will you, after examining the Charts and Manual, kindly give me your opinion of the work. and that of your excellent husband, Senator Sanford [sic]? Upon your return to San Francisco, should you meet General William M. Graham, (the Commanding officer at the Presidio) or his wife & daughters, will you please let them see the Charts. As my nearest living relatives, I feel sure they will be gratified by an opportunity of inspecting them.

And now, dear Mrs.

(Mrs.) Eliz. Cabot Cary Agassiz - Oct. 10. (1871)

[Had visited the Stanfords & hopes they will come to Cambridge. Prof. Agassiz studied glacial traces in the Sierra & near Donner Lake.]

(b. 1807)

Louis Agassiz died, 1873, but was in Cal., 1871 - This letter mentions (over)

not with us - Mr Agassiz found his scratched in glacial pebbles, the evidence which was lacking on Lundy and near Truckee he found also very fine "moraines", those peculiarly shaped mounds of loose materials formed by glaciers and left by them wherever they have rested. He would have liked very much to show all this to Mr Stanford but he hopes to do so on his next visit. We drove to Donner Lake and, with the help of our [trepadors ?], brought

away a number of specimens. I have enjoyed our homeward journey more than I can express - I had never dreamed of travelling with so much comfort and can but say that for Mrs Agassiz & myself that the trip has been thus far one of pure rest & enjoyment. We look back to our days with you as among our pleasantest memories and Agassiz constantly refers to the delightful opportunity which he owed to Governor Stanford of studying the glacial tracts in the
