God will bless you for your helpfulness in time of need.

here was to expedite this suit, - to get a decision as quickly as possible, as I am anxious to re-engage President Jordan and the faculty for next year, which I can not do if this suit is not decided before that time

Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for your kind words of encouragement, which have been more helpful to me than you can imagine. Cornell as a body

Hon Andrew White:

Highly prized friend:

Your letter of Oct 16th has been forwarded to me from California. Of course you can well understand my mission here. My anxiety is not yet over, but I have every reason to feel that the two decisions already given being favorable, I am justified in daring to think the final one also will be favorable. My purpose in coming

in Heaven.

I sometimes feel that in God's own way he is showing me by visible means his interest His helpfulness and his endeavor to interest others in helping when I receive letters such as you in your kindness of heart have sent me.

I cannot express to you all that I feel in regard to the unexpected govenrment suit, but I am hopeful that all will end well. My faith in God is such that I could not mistrust Him and distrust His purposes.

and it was His purpose that the University, which found its birth place in the heart of my husband and which was a germ sown there by God's own hand and by him nursed and cherished and started with the highest and best of motives, will not be crumpled and destroyed.

It may not progress as my husband hoped for, but it will go on I have not a doubt, doing a smaller work, but it will be effective and widespread.

Dr Jordan has been all and even more than

[left page] my husband pictured him for during the two years' trials and tribulations he has developed, and has been equal to every emergency that we have passed through. Besides all this, he and his dear good wife have been very sustaining and comforting to me.

Thanking you for your kindness and your sympathy I remain

Yours gratefully, Mrs Leland Stanford

It even extends farther for I implore the Precious Father in Heaven to allow me to be sustained, guided, and led by the wise, the noble, and the pure heart among those who are ministering angels
