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 your 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.

Your with respect,

J.C. Branner.
