New York, Sept. 11th, 1894

Mrs. Jane L. Stanford,

San Francisco, Cal.

Dear Mrs. Stanford: --

Your letter of September 3rd has been received. A record is
kept in the San Francisco office of all the New York obligations, and you
can now get full information, personally, or through any representative,
without referring to the books in the New York office. Yet, while this
is so, there seems to be no reason why Pacific Improvement Company obli-
gations should not be signed by the President and Secretary of that
Company in California; and, since you express the preference that this
should be done, it will be so arranged, for the future. The banks and
monied institutions here, are familiar with the signatures that have
been used, and, wherever Mr. Davis signs, the obligation has been authori-
zed by Mr. Huntington or myself, or both. But, although we like to deal
with the banks in the forms to which they are accustomed, it would
certainly seem that they cannot reasonably object to having the names
of the chief officers of the Company appear on its notes.

With kind regards, I remain

Very truly yours,

Thos H. Hubbard
