Dear Mrs Stanford

If you will kindly let me know where you can be seen and when, I would like to have a short inter view. My business is in connection with the Correspondence that I had with your late distinguished husband. His personal letters to me were all destroyed in the fire that burned my house and contents a short time since. My letters to him if preserved I would like returned as they are of no use to you and may accidentally fall into the hands of some schemer who for selfish purposes would distort their meaning.

Sympathizing with you in the loss of him whose companionship made life worth living

I am your friend

The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. March 9, 1896.

My dear Mrs. Stanford:

Permit me to offer you my hearty congratulations on the happy ending of the litigation which has so long held the future of your University in suspense. While the danger was hanging over you I did not dare to offer even a word of sympathy. The interests at issue were to great to be even talked about. But I offered up many a prayer that justice might be done, and that the Institution with which your heart's affections are so intimately bound up might not be imperilled. Now that the danger clouds have passed away I congratulate you with my whole heart. I hope you will always find comfort in the solid progress of the Institution, and in the good work that it will do, The work will be sure to be good, if it is always guided by those fundament al principles laid down by Mr. Stanford in his sketch of the organic law of the University. You remember how I dwelt upon those principles and upon the wisdom that had inspired them in the address which I had the pleasure of making to the professors and students some two years ago. Many times since then I have referred to them in public. Only two weeks ago in a philosophical discourse which I gave in New Orleans, I instanced this action of Mr Stanford as an illustration of the philosophical light in which our century is closingin contrast with the philosophic darkness with which it commenced.

Again and again accept my cordial best wishes, and let me hope

that whenever you may visit Washington I may have the pleasure of welcoming you at our University. Thanks be to God, our work goes on very satisfactorily. Last October we opened the departments for lay students, -- our courses having been during the preceding six years only those belonging to higher studies in divinity. Now we have the complete organization of a university with the exception of the school of medicine alone. In each department, of course, the equipment is as yet only partial, but as the courses develop during the next four or five years it will become more and more perfect. This year is for me one of special difficulty. Between now and next June I must raise nearly $50,000, in order to meet the expenses incident to the opening of our new departments. Where I am to get it all Providence only knows, but I push on trustfully.

With cordial best wishes, Truly yours in Christ,

John J. Keane, Rector

LITTLE FARM ORANGE ROAD MONTCLAIR, N.J. March 2, 1896

Dear Mrs Stanford,

It is with much gratification that I read in todays paper, of the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, in your favor, in the great case of the Government against the estate of your late husband. There will be any amount of rejoicing that the Governor's plans regarding the University can be carried out as he wished them to be, and that other minor projects which he left will not lack the necessary means for development.

I congratulate you, not only on your victory in the contest but also on your relief of mind from the anxiety which uncertainty as to your future duties must have imposed. The Governor's plans were so wide of scope that even with most favoring circumstances, your burden will be a great one; but now that the greatest hindrance is removed your courage will be redoubled. God bless your efforts.

Mrs. Jane L. Stanford Menlo Park, Cal. Dear Madam,

I beg to congratulate you upon the outcome of the litigation which has been pending in our United States Supreme Court. I feel that the decision is not only the occasion for rejoicing among those who are immediately engaged in the work of the University but that it marks as well an enlarged opportunity for every educational interest upon the coast. The added prosperity of Stanford will bring renewed success of every progressive educational institution upon the coast.

Very respectfully yours, Charles H. Keyes
