OFFICE OF THE VICE-PRESIDENT

Stanford University, Cal.,

Nov. 16, 1901.

Mrs. Jane L. Stanford.

My dear Madam:-

I have your letter of the 15th in which you so kindly express appreciation of my loyalty to the University.

Naturally I am much pleased at the substantial nature of the recognition, but it gives me much greater pleasure to know that you approve of my course.

My best efforts for the University at all times and under all circumstances are the least I can expect of myself, and the least I would have you always feel that you can count on.

With respect,

J.C. Branner.

181 W. San Fernando St. San Jose

June 3rd 1895

My dear Mrs. Stanford,

Permit me to write you a few words, expressing my sympathy for you in your anxieties & my gratitude to Our Heavenly Father that you have found refuge & help in prayer to Him. I also flee to this strong tower, & when I said in my grief "All Thy billows & Thy waves have gone over me." I realized the Everlasting Arms are underneath & nothing could harm or make afraid.

May this trust be your portion forever, & may the good you have been permitted to do continue till it may be said "In thee shall all the nations of the earth be blessed."

Sincerely yours

Mrs D.D. Briggs
