Correspondence (outgoing), 1904

The address which I have ready to read at the next Trustees meeting, I now hesitate to deliver. It makes very plain all I have only infered to the Trustees in my letter to them. I have now concluded to send you the address just as I have written it, and will you kindly return it to me, as I want it to be strictly confidential.

I read one or two paragraphs to Mr. Geo. E. Crothers, who by chance was on his way to Pacific Grove to visit his mother, but he really knows but very little of all I have written.

I will be guided in a measure by what you advise.

I remain, Your grateful friend (Signed) Jane L. Stanford

Dear Sir:-

Gathering from the letters which you have written me the impresison that you would very willingly take the position of organist at the Stanford University Memorial Church, I would like very much indeed to know, if you should be called by the Trustees of the University, what compensation you would require, and how soon you would be able to come. After receiving this information it will then be laid before the Trustees for them to act upon.

The present salary the oragnist receives is $125.00 per month. He gives an organ recital every day from four to five P.M., and takes full care of the organ to see that the internal parts are kept in fine condition. No outside person is trusted with this delicate work; and he also teaches the choir students and leads them.

I await your answer.

Respectfully yours, (Signed) Mrs. Leland Stanford

My dear brother

The [bearer?] Miss Elsie J. Stephens is the young lady of [whom?] I spoke to you about. I want you to pay to her monthly the scholarship money of dear Lelands gift.

Please pay it to her monthly the entire year of 1904 - this [?] until 1905 next Sept.

This will authorize you to do this my wish

Your affectionate sister Jane L. Stanford.

Dear Mrs. Milk,

Your communication dated July 9th received, and very welcome.

In relation to the subject therein named co-education, is in my feeble

opinion an unsolved question. It is still in its infancy, and only time and expeience can definite ly settle the very important and very serious question.

I am willing to give it a fair and impartial trial, and I believe God who in His Wisdom knows all, rules all - even in sorrow as well as in joy - will open the minds of the wise rulers of earth, to decide this troublesome and delicate question, and it will in the end be settled to the advantage of borh sexes.
