Hon Leland Stanford

Dear Sir:

I note with ever increasing interest the progress being made towards the completion of what, to my mind, is to be one of the grandest Educational Institutions of the age - the Leland Stanford Jr. University.

If I can be of service to you in any direction in promoting its interest, you have but to command me.

Very sincerely yrs.

Ira G. Hoitt
