Stanford University, Calif.
Dear Sir:-
The Stanford people of Stockton are desirous of knowing whether the University authorities are making any preparations or whether they intend to, toward receiving any delegation or representatives at the funeral of Mrs. Stanford.

Will you kindly inform us in regard to this matter?
Very truly yours,
Jos. M. [?]

Yours sincerely
