Untitled Page 9[preprinted] JACOB VOORSANGER 1249 Franklin St., San Francisco, Cal., [/preprinted] March 3 1905 My dear Dr Jordan Wholly in a personal sense I beg to express my sense of grief and consternation at the unexpected and untimely demise of Mrs Stanford. You know better than any one what the university has lost, but also that her work will go on uninterruptedly. Hence that is not our greatest loss. The serious character of our bereavement is the loss of a [fine, kind ?] woman, a dear friend, and the severance of ties of affection that cannot be contracted again in the same manner and under the same conditions. It is this that makes such losses irreparable. Will you kindly present then my sentiments to Mr. Lathrop, and I respectfully ask that I may be notified of the time of the dear lady's obsequies, that I may attend both as a member of the Faculty and as a representation of my own people, who loved and venerated Mrs. Stanford. very sincerely yours, Jacob Voorsanger President David Starr Jordan, Stanford University | Untitled Page 9[preprinted] JACOB VOORSANGER 1249 Franklin St., San Francisco, Cal., [/preprinted] March 3 1905 My dear Dr Jordan Wholly in a personal sense I beg to express my sense of grief and consternation [at?] the unexpected and untimely demise of Mrs Stanford.
