Messrs Stillman & Hubbard.
Gentlemen.
Persuant to your request I have to day signed three notes
National Bank dated May 15th 1895 $75,000
National Park Bank dated May 15th 1895 $100,000
New York Produce Exchange Bank dated May 14th 1895. $50,000.
I notice that they are all for new loans. I have signed these very reluctantly because

they are new loans, but so do upon the advice of my brother Charles G. Lathrop and Mr P. J. Wilson as they assure me that the proceeds of these new notes will be applied as stated in Mr Douly's letter from Mr. Gates of May 14th 1895, and May 15th 1895.
The Seligman note I have signed for the same reason and upon the same conditions.
My brother will further communicate with you on the subject of the new notes and application of the proceeds thereof.
Yours respectfully,
Jane L. Stanford May 23rd 1895. San Francisco. Cal.

Hon Richard Olney Secretary of State
Dear Mr. Olney Washington. D.C.
I have just learned of your appointment to the position of Secretary of State and beg that you will accept my sincere congratulations. At the same time I cannot help feeling sorry that you are to leave the Department of Justice because ever since my interview

with you in Washington I have felt that you take an interest in those affairs which affect me so deeply.
I hope however that your interest will not cease upon your removal to another sphere, and if you will be kind enough to inform your successor of the situation so far as my affairs are concerned, and endeavor to imbue him with your friendly spirit I shall ever feel very grateful
Yours most respectfully
Mrs Leland Stanford June 8th 1895 Palo Alto. Menlo Park California
