Mr. Russell J. Wilson Kind friend: -
I hasten to let you know I have changed my mind about going away. I did feel when I planned to go that I was much in need of change and rest and thought first consideration should be given to my health. I feel better now and I am convinced this it too important a time for me to be beyond the

immediate reach of my coworkers.
I will go somewhere within easy reach and can get to the City once a week - oftener if you need me. I shall be here heart and hand to do my part.
Yours respectfully Mrs Leland Stanford

Messrs Stillman & Hubbard. Mills Building N.Y.
Gentlemen
There has been handed to me for my endorsement a promissory note dated June 20th/95 for $250,000 in favor of the Pullman Palace Car Company payable seven months after date with interest at five per cent per annum.
In Mr Gates letter to Mr Douty
Untitled Page 40
dated June 21st 1895 he states that "this note as you will notice is for a new loan for the amount named and is made as a part provision for funds required for my payment of interest cupons[sic coupons] due on the 1st [provisso?]"
I cannot see that there is any obligation on the part of the Pacific Improvement Co to provide funds for the payment of interest cupons[sic] of other corporations and as the loan is confessedly for the interest of other companies than the P.I. Company and is a new loan and not made to pay or renew any existing obligation of the P. I. Co. I must respectfully decline to endorse the same, and have requested my brother to return it to Mr Douty without my signature, and I am confirmed in my beleif [sic belief] as to the [position/positiver ?] take upon a fresh reading of the agreement of March 27th 1894 between us.
respectfully Jane L. Stanford June 28th 1895 = San Francisco
