Vina, California., August 22 1893

Mrs. Jane L. Stanford,

Menlo Park, Calif.

Dear Madam:-

I have your letter of August 19th., which came by mail this morning.

Replying to the inquiry made, would say that I mailed the report asked for in your letter of August 8th., (a copy of which was shown me by yourself in the city on August 10th) on the 15th., inst., addressed to Charles G. Lathrop at your city office. The letter was so sent in consequence of my understanding that all communications of business character were to be addressed to him for you.

The working of interviewing each one of the several men employed upon the ranch involved considerable time and trouble, but I am surprised that you have not received the communication, as certainly sufficient time has elapsed after it was mailed at this place, provided there was no miscarriage or delay out of the ordinary.

I have been quite anxiously waiting reply to that communication, as some of the men are impatiently waiting to know what offer will be made for new rate of wages, which, under instructions so far given, I have no authority to fix.

Yours Respectfully,

H. W. McIntyre
