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 uncer-
tainty 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.

Peter C. Kellogg
