Correspondence (incoming) - Sp-St

happy to take up a new eduactional work such as I imagine yours to be and to devote myself to it industriously and enthusiastically, but I prefer a position where I shall be at the head of one or more departments. I should not go to Cal. to fill a teacher's position unless the salary were unusually good. I see by the paper that you have lately been in Boston. I regret that I did not know of

your enterprise and your presence here as I should like an interview. If you care to consider my case I will ask you to write to Dr. [C.?]W. Emerson, 36 Bromfield St., Boston, Mass. (Pres. "Monroe College")

also Prof. W.H. [Darruth?] 36 Trowbridge St., Cambridge, Mass. (Teacher German Harvard Coll.)

I will not tresspass

further upon your time until I hear from you when I will answer any questions or arrange for an interview should you be in Mass again this summer. Yours truly Eleanor Gertrude Stephens

P.S. I should expect in any position to do some teaching, and should prefer to teach Elocution. E.G.S.

[Mr.?] H.C. Nash, Sec. L. S. Jr. Univ. San Francisco, Cal.

My Dear Sir: Your favor of the [7th?] is at hand. I write to say that my address for the summer will be as above, also to ask you whether there is any printed matter as yet concerning

your school. Boston is so remote from San Francisco that what may be a very notable undertaking there is scarcely spoken of here, and I should be very grateful if you will mail me any printed information that may be published. Should Senator Stanford be in the East again before the school opens, may I hope for a personal interview? I have not been at all desirous of teaching in the west until I heard of your University, but partly because it is a new school, and partly on account of the location I should like a position there. Yours Truly ([Miss.?]) Eleanor Gertrude Stephens
