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.
