My dear Mrs Stanford
The memory of our pleasant visit in San Francisco when both our dear husbands and your precious son were all there comes often very fresh to my mind This has made me feel a deep interest in the term-ination of the Law Case which must have been a great annoyance to you for a long time. Your visit also at our home in New York will long be remembered with pleasure I want to congratulate you most heartily in the decision of the case.

By Edmond T. Dooley
The Bancroft Company, Publishers
723 Market Street
San Francisco, Cal., [/preprinted] July 24 1893
To Mrs Leland Stanford, Menlo Park, Calif.
My dear madam:-
In the preparation of an historical and biographical book, of a permanent character, relating to the "Benefactions and Benefactors of California", I would like to confer with you - representing as you do the benefaction of the state, which I desire to illustrate and accompany with biographical matters, as nearly as possible with respect to your wishes. All benefactions, each in its appropriate department - as indicated in the enclosed circular letter - will be included in the volume, as will benefactors in "Life-sketches" as well as in the main text.
So far as possible I propose to specially meet those of whom and of whose work and spirit the publication is to speak. I could call, upon any day - after notice of a day or so - agreeable to yourself.
In order to include no irrelevant matters and to insure completeness and accuracy, I am obliged to solicit [insert: such] co-operation at your hands or would avoid writing at this juncture. I am, dear madam, Respectfully and reverently yours, Edward T. Dooley, (Editor)
