THE AMERICAN PROTECTIVE TARIFF LEAGUE,

DEVOTED TO THE PROTECTION OF AMERICAN LABOR AND INDUSTRIES

National Headquarters, No. 135 West 23d St.

Occidental Hotel

San Francisco, Cal., March 11th, 1896.

Mrs. Leland Stanford

Palo Alto

Respected Madam:

Since your lamented husband went beyond, the
sympathy of his many friends has been with you, and their pray-
ers that you should be spared to continue the great and good
work so generously begun. The decision of the Courts meets with
universal approbation, and as former citizen of California
I now rejoice in that California will now possess the greatest
and most liberally endowed institution of learning in the world.

The "Governor" as we always liked to call him, was as enthu-
siastic supporter of the principles of Protection of American
Industry, as he was a liberal patron of learning, the arts and
sciences. I beg to hand you herewith the last signed pledge of
membership in the American Protective Tariff League, his original
autograph appearing in our album of "One thousand defenders"
which was signed in 1883.
