San Francisco, Oct. 29, 1898.

Mr. Chas. Ed. Hodges,
Stanford University, Cal.

Dear Sir: -

I return to you herewith bill presented by Mr. I.J. Egan, of the Sigma Nu Fraternity, for $49.25 which he thinks should be allowed on account of meals furnished while the Fraternity house was being moved. I suppose if the Fraternity House had been left to remain where it formerly was, these young gentlemen would have had no cause to have had purchased any food, as they could live upon the climate. I think as you do, that it was very unjust on their part to submit a bill of this kind. I wish you would refer the same to Mrs. Stanford as I think she ought to be informed of the bill being presented and have her approve or disapprove of the same.

Yours respectfully,
Cha. G. Lathrop
