Gentlemen: After reviewing and considering our business relations, and the extensive interests of each in our great undertakings, we appreciate the importance of harmony and the hearty co-operation of each interest for the successful issue of every enterprise. We are of the opinion that nothing can be so conducive to that harmony as a united approval of all new enterprises, or the material extension of old ones. We therefore believe that no new enterprise, or any extension of any existing enterproses in which we are all interested, should be undertaken while there is one dissenting voice among us. We propose to recognize this as a fact and act upon it in the future. Therefore whenever any one representative of the four interests is opposed to an enterprise there will always be at least another to stand with him in opposition to its prosecution, however much that other might approve of the undertaking. Success without harmony is possible but hardly probable. Trusting that you will recognize the force of the assertions we make, and hoping you may, upon reflection, view them

from the main line of the Southern Pacific. I write to him on the subject by this mail. I am sure he will be willing to do whatever he can to assist. I also write to our [General?] Manager, Mr. Towne, in regard to placing your track. I do not know that this can very well be done, but we shall try to accommodate you. I hope you will not forget to designate somebody to preach on occassions at the University. I would especially like to have toleration, forebearance, brotherly love and Christian charity illustrated. Yours Respectfully Leland Stanford
