San Francisco, March 3rd, 1905.

Dr. David Starr Jordan,

Stanford University, Cal.

Dear Dr. Jordan:

Noting contents of your favor of March 2nd, I
suppose all plans for any Alumni dinner at this time have
been declared off.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

I guess you understand how deeply I feel Mrs. Stanford's
death, and particularly the fact that she did not pass away
quietly at Palo Alto. I had to some extent a tender relation
with her, and this whole thing is a real sorrow to me, as it
is to very many others.

An early answer to this letter will be a favor to me.

Very truly yours,

Charles K. Field.
