Law Offices of

Morehouse & Tuttle,

Over Bank of San Jose,

San Jose, Cal. April 12th. 1890.

Hon. Leland Stanford,

Dear Sir: While I am, but a poor struggling young man, actuated I hope, by only those ambitions, which are honorable, and while I know nothing, or your private affairs, which has placed Mr. Huntington in the Presidency of the S. P. Co. yet I feel, that this State, owes you now more than ever the petty honor of United States Senator, and I write you, simply to say, that I want to be placed on your list of friends, as one, who thinks that you are one of the greatest men of this age and the greatest philanthropist the world has ever known.

Yours Truly.

H. V. Morehouse.

Stratford, Vt. Oct. 9th, 1891

Dear Senator:

I notice the accounts given in the papers of the opening of the Leland Stanford Jr. University, and I congratulate you upon the success of your great work. It will be a monument to you and your family that will not rust or crumble with age but grow brighter and larger as centuries go by. It was wise for you to start this great university yourself instead of leaving it to be done by others under brief words of a last Will and Testament.

I would compensate for a trip across

SCOTT CIRCLE, WASHINGTON, D.C.

My dear Senator

The enclosed note will explain itself & I can do no less than send it to you by request of the Duchesse d'Auxy.

I hope you and Mrs. Stanford

are in good health, and ready for the writers' campaign.

Yours sincerely, L.P. Morton

Hon Leland Stanford U.S.S.
