EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON

My Dear Mrs Stanford

I might perhaps to apologise
for sending the letter to you
to forward to Mr Elliott
but I certainly forgot the
fact I had the address
& also feared that he might
have already left the
country; as he said he should
do so soon. In referring to
the letter I find that it
is Marysville Yuba Co. c/o

Mr T. W. Johnson Manager of
the Appeal-Pub. Co

I only obtained the letter
because it was evidence
to me of some good done
& many are so sceptical
of any good results from
such efforts. Can I retain
the letter? or if you desire
it yourself it is at your
disposal. I shall be so
glad to see you again.
& hope to have frequent
visits from you. I also
hope that both you & the
Senator have returned
