Gentlemen:

I noticed in the papers some time since that your term of school might, or would open, this fall, and having a boy whom I would like to have enter at the very begning of the institution. I write to request information on the subject, and to ask for a Catalogue or Prospectus if any such are issued.

Hoping the University may more than meet the hopes and expectations of it generous founder.

I remain

Yours truly

Hon, Leland Stanford, Dear Sir,

I have just read an account of your university which is being built at Palo Alto Cal.

I would like very much to have my children trained at an institution of the kind, and I thought I would write and see if I could learn something in regard to the workings of the institution, to know whether I would be able to send my children.

If some one interested in the concern would be kind enough
