[printed letterhead] EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON. March 2nd 1893

Hon Leland Stanford Washington, D. C.

My dear Senator:

I am sorry that I have been compelled to defer even the acknowledgment of your kind letters of a recent date. I will dispose of the matter so far at once as to say that during the next school year at Stanford University I will spend sometime with you and deliver

[left side] some lectures upon constitutional and international law to the students of the Leland Stanford Jr. University. I am sure that I cannot come before the close of the present term; and I cannot tell, until my other engagements are ascertained, whether I can come early in the fall; but, the generous terms you offer being accepted, we can arrange the details after I get home and am able to outline my future more definitely than I can do now

[right side] I very highly appreciate your generous offer and much more the high value which you have been pleased to ascribe to the services I can render to the University

Very truly yours, Benjamin Harrison
