Dear May

I write to ask you if the screens came from Japan as I am obliged to have two screens in my new dining room in our Washington house. We have built an addition to it and the room is the size on length of the dining room in our city house and has two doors opening into it from a very large butlers pantry and it necessitates two, as they can be looked into from table. I thought if I could see the one you have for me, I might match it in S.F. - have

one made perhaps - please let me know if it will not trouble you any --

with love ever, Jane L Stanford

Dear Tim & May -

I know it will interest you both to hear from us and know while around us there has been sickness we with God's protection have escaped even the entire household. We find it more like winter here than it is in Washington it has snowed steadily nearly all day. We arrived last evening. Mr. Stanford desired

to see his horses and to be present on Tuesday at the sale. He has not been here before since our return East. This afternoon I went to see Hattie Alexander and sat an hour with her both her children were brought down stairs to see me. She delights in them and is proud of their health and their inteligence. [sic] She has been redecorating and refurnishing her house and it lookes [sic] very much changed. She has taken down all the dark woods and replaced with onyx and gilt and one room is faced with lavender and gold satin on walls and furniture and is very fine. After I reached the Hotel a card was brought in with a few lines written on saying it was Della Clements who formally lived with Mrs. Hopkins. We had her come in and she had followed us here from Was. She wanted some idemnification [sic] from the R.R. Co. for the killing on the road of he [sic] father in May before Mrs. Searls died she went [to] Methuen and saw Mrs. S. She was then quite feeble and looked weak and sick but they had a talk but not a satisfactory on to Della she related to us her life
