San Francisco, Febr'y 6, 1893

Mrs Leland Stanford
Honored Madame

I took the liberty of calling upon you on Saturday
and sending in my card by the butler relative to the letters which
were handed you nearly two weeks ago by my friend Mr. Dunne. The
butler returned answer that you were busily engaged at the time,
and referring me to Mr. Nash. I beg leave to recall to you that my
very object in addressing you upon the matter referred to in my
letter, was to solicit your mediation, as all my efforts to see
the Senator through Mr. Nash have been unavailing. Mr. Dunne, who
was the bearer of my letter to you the Wednesday before last, said
that you were kind enough to say that you would bring the matter to
the notice of the Senator; also that you would notify me of the re-
sult the following Friday. As ten days have elapsed since then, I
am apprehensive that, owing to the many calls upon your sympathy,
my own application may have escaped your memory, and this consti-
tutes my only excuse and apology for addressing you again.

I remain,
Your obedient servant
J E Brown
