Dear Sir,

I have not determined just where, or to whom, I
might address this letter, and the enclosed letter
dated 1921. Believing it may be of interest to you
as a part of Stanford's history, I have sent it
to you.

The letter was written by my father, Leon Thomas David '25.
He became a superior court judge in Los Angeles, and
at the end of his career on the Appellate Court. He was
also a colonel in World War II on Eisenhower's staff, he
"fathered" Tort Liability, was an author & professor.

Why he was targeted by the KKK may have been
his name Leon (Jewish perceived) and that his
hometown was Vallejo, which presented him as less
than he was.

This letter was given me my his brother's estate.
It was never mentioned in the family.

Thank you for your interest.

Carolyn David Estra '49
