Hon. Grover Cleveland.
President of the United States.
My dear Sir:
The bill making an appropriation for the purchase of a site for a Post office at San Francisco, California, has been sent to you for your consideration.
The present Post office at San Francisco is in a wretched condition and a new one is imperatively demanded.
In the pressure of business before you, I hope it will not escape your attention.
Very truly Yours,
Leland Stanford
