Dear Sir I hear that your friend Mr. Stanford is going to found a University on a large scale at San Francisco. One of my colleagues of the French Institute, Mr. Paul Viollet, has asked me to inform you, that, should it [suit?] Mr. Stanford's views, he would be inclined to accept in the New University a professorship of History of Law. Mr. Viollet is a very learned and distinguished man, and was elected Member of the Institute a short time ago. Should you wish to communicate with him his [direction?] is, rue Soufflot, 2 [bis?]. I had some hesitation in troubling you about a matter of this kind, but Miss King, my [sister?] in law, encouraged me to write to you. Believe me Very truly yours W.W. [Wadington?] French Ambassador in London

Friend Mark

On my return from Omaha I found quite a number of letters from you, they were all interesting as your letters always are and each one deserved an answer, but as Huntington was going on to California I concluded he should answer all.

He has been and returned, and it has been a great satisfaction to me that he has been out and learned the true state of matters.

Col Gray left here this morning for California. He will be able to [post?] you as to matters here more fully than I can write. The weather continues remarkably good. So far for us it has been a failure in great part?. Ives says two years ago last September when he was at Echo Summit snow fell four feet. Such a fall of snow this year would have saved us notwithstanding the slow [progress?] of our track. After the {words crossed out} report of the Special [?] on the [? ? ] { next words crossed out] showing clearly an unfinished road [word crossed out] [?] [?] then [?] its full amount of [bonds?]. It is not very encouraging for us to believe that they will withhold [bonds?]
