[Identification of item], Leland Stanford, Jr., Collection (SC0033C). Dept. of Special Collections and University Archives,
Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif.
Leland Stanford, Jr., the only child of Senator and Mrs. Leland Stanford, was born in Sacramento, California on May 14, 1868.
His early death in March 1884 just before his sixteenth birthday inspired the founding of Leland Stanford Junior University
in 1885.
Correspondence, journal, notebooks, drawings, personality studies, and school work of Leland Jr., and condolences to Senator
and Mrs. Stanford regarding the death of their son. The correspondence and journal relate primarily to family travels in Europe
and activities at home in San Francisco and Palo Alto, to his interests in archeology and collecting, and to his education.
The collection also includes correspondence between Jane Lathrop Stanford and William T. Ross, one of Leland Jr.'s tutors.
