Dear Josh and Esther:
I am pleased to extend my congratulations to you both.  I trust that you will find Stanford even more exciting and congenial than Madison.  I know that you both will add vastly to the scholarly climate there and I hope that you, in turn, will be amply rewarded.  I know it has been with considerable deliberation that you have decided to leave your home and community; however, I am certain that you will quickly develop roots and become an integral part of Stanford.
I must confer that I feel a personal loss by having this distance placed between us.  But I am certain that we will still get together often.
My very best wishes to you both.  I hope to see you this fall.
Gaylen
