Dear Gage,
I wish those letters from Mr. Huntington to you, in which he speaks very highly of me as a man about the time of my election, to be carefully preserved, - and as you may be asked to give them up, I suggest that you put them in an envelope endorsed "letters from C. P. H." - and hand them to Ariel Lathrop to be kept in his safe.
Your Very truly
Leland Stanford
S. T. Gage Esq. San Francisco.

I leave New York for Europe on the 28th inst:
With kind regards Yours Very truly

Dear Sir,
Your letter of the 6th inst is received.
I am very glad indeed that you consented to leave Sunol in California for the Winter. I dreaded a trip across the Continent for her at this Season of the year. It was a disappointment to me that she did not lower her record last Summer; the real reason she did not was, I think, because

Yours Very truly
Leland Stanford
