 Title:  Poe Collection: Letter from Edgar Allan Poe to John Allan, 1828 December 22  
 Published:  1999 
 Description: I wrote you shortly before leaving Fort Moultrie & am much hurt at receiving no answer. Perhaps my letter has not reached you & under that supposition I will recapitulate its contents. It was chiefly to sollicit your interest in freeing me from the Army of the U.S. in which (as Mr. Lay's letter from Lieut Howard informed you) I am at present a soldier. I begged that you would suspend any judgement you might be inclined to form, upon many untoward circumstances, until you heard of me again — & begged you to give my dearest love to Ma & solicit her not to let my wayward disposition wear away the affection she used to have for me. I mentioned that all that was necessary to obtain my discharge from the army was your consent in a letter to Lieut J. Howard, who has heard of you by report, & the high character given you by Mr. Lay; this being all that I asked at your hands, I was hurt at your declining to answer my letter. Since arriving at Fort Moultrie Lieut Howard has given me an introduction to Col. James House of the 1st Arty to whom I was before personally known only as a soldier of his regiment. He spoke kindly to me. told me that he was personally acquainted with my Grandfather Genl. Poe [1], with yourself & family, & reassured me of my immediate discharge upon your consent. It must have been a matter of regret to me, that when those who were strangers took such deep interest in my welfare, that you who called me your son should refuse me even the common civility of answering a letter. If it is your wish to forget that I have been your son I am too proud to remind you of it again. I only beg you to remember that you yourself cherished the cause of my leaving your family. Ambition. If it has not taken the channel you wished it, it is not the less certain of its object. Richmond & the U. States were too narrow a sphere & the world shall be my theatre.

 Description: MARK TWAIN and GEORGE W. CABLE travelled together one season. Twain and Cable, a colossal attraction, a happy combination! Mark owned the show, and paid Mr. Cable $600 a week and his travelling and hotel expenses. The manager took a percentage of the gross receipts for his services, and was to be sole manager. If he consulted the proprietor at all during the term of the agreement, said agreement became null and void.

 Title:  Letter from W. C. N. Randolph to A. Gordon, Jan. 13, 1896 [a machine-readable transcription]  
 Published:  1995 
 Description: I enclose you some papers that will be rather a shock to you but that will speak for themselves. It makes me more and more convinced that we can't safely undertake this task which is upon us without having a thoroughly trained inspector and not only that but a supervising architect. Men who will be entirely in our interests and who will be paid by ourselves and who will be making us frequent reports. Neither Thornton or Echols are fit for this sort of thing; they haven't the practical experience nor are either of them very practical men. We ought to take the whole affair out of the hands of the buildings and grounds, except as to the transference of money. As you are probably aware I have been very much dissatisfied with the character of the work that has been done in the reconstruction of the two terraces, but being very distrustful of my own knowledge of such things I could never shape it in such a way as to prove to myself that I was not making a mountain of a mole-hill. The whole thing has made me right sick. If we are to undertake this work with an architect who makes all sorts of errors in his strain sheets; with a superintendent like Echols, who has not verified any calculations; and another superintendent like Thornton who accepts the architects loose ideas of weights and strains and deems safe what, when brought to the tables of experienced facts, proves to be unsafe and another superintendent like the venerable Rector who has neither the time nor the tables nor probably the capacity to make reliable calculations the result will be that you and McCabe will be damned and properly damned for the balance of your lives and the venerable Rector will probably be hung & properly hung. As you may remember as I said before may Heaven bless all mixed Committees and save me the trouble of having so far to force my conscience as to bless them. Do pray burn this letter; it is written in such bad temper. I started in good humor enough but as the thing has worked upon me my gall has risen. I shall expect you on Friday and you and I and McCabe must talk these things over where we can do it without any feeling that we are treading upon other peoples toes and possibly finding fault where fault is not due. Send the papers back to me at once please. Mr. McDonald has not turned up here yet but we are expecting him every day.

 Title:  Letter from W.C.N. Randolph to Mr. Gordon, Jan. 24, 1896 [a machine-readable transcription]  
 Published:  1995 
 Description: I enclose you a letter from McCabe to myself and a copy of my reply thereto. I hope that you will give it a good deal of thought. To my mind it is exceedingly important. I received yours this morning. I am glad to hear the good account that Colonel Cutshaw and Colonel Douglas give of Mr. Whitely; and still with the impression that Thornton and Echols have, it might be dangerous to appoint him. This question of an Inspector is filled with many difficulties. General Craighill advises that we should leave the whole matter to the architect; Green Peyton who you & I trust very much thinks an Inspector would be a mistake; and yet I am perfectly certain that we ought to have somebody in charge of this work on behalf of the University. In fact in any building at the University there should be someone, an officer of the Institution, who would be responsible for it. Suppose Green Peyton were Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, how much trouble would you and I give ourselves about this matter? Not a bit! So I come to the point. Our Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds who is one of the finest fellows in the world, and a man of splendid intellect, is from habit, character of mind, and training, unfit for his position. He takes no interest in it; never can be found and is not doing his duty. Now I am not writing this with any harshness at all. I am just stating to you what I know to be facts. In addition, the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds is the proper Inspector of the work that goes ont at the University and if he was the best one in the world, he ought not to hold the dual position of member and servant of the Building Committee. I think, if you all two agree with me, that the solution of this matter is an easy one. I am satisfied that Echols is more than willing to give up the place as Superintendent; that he intends to do so at the end of the session and that he would be glad to do it now. Then it seems to me, that the wisest thing we can do is to select with great care an Inspector and when the Board meets let us then accept Mr. Echols' resignation and I think I can arrange that it will be offered, and let us select an appointee as Inspector Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. This seems to me to do away with all the objections to the appointment of a special Inspector. Now I myself, would be perfectly willing to take blindly and I don't I often say that, any man that H.D. Whitcomb, Colonel Cutshaw and Colonel Douglas, from a professional stand-point, knowing these facts, would recommend to us. Think this matter over; we cant take Thornton into our confidence about it. In the first place, no man can ever tell when he has an axe to grind for himself and then every thing filters through him to the Faculty and leads to lack of harmony between us. Mr. Davis came to me about the Ott matter today. I want to have a talk to you and McCabe about it when you come over. Please give this matter of Inspector a great deal of thought. I am perfectly satisfied that the master-wheel of this reconstruction machinery is sound; but there is a grating cog in a wheel that will be always worrying us and may bring us to a disgraceful break-down. Mary tells me to say to you, that if you come over on Saturday morning you must bring Margaret with you and let her spend the day with the baby. However, you must come on Friday evening as we must have a long talk.

 Title:  Letter from W.C.N. Randolph to Mr. McCabe, June 22, 1896 [a machine-readable transcription]  
 Published:  1995 
 Description: A knowledge of your intention to visit Great Britain this summer has induced me to request that you will undertake a matter for the University of Va. By the recent fire, as you are aware, our library was almost a total loss; to replace our buildings lost at the same time has strained our finances to the utmost. We will have a sum left totally inadequate to supply our need of books — Our sister institutions in this country aided us from their own libraries to the extent of their power. It has occurred to me that Oxford and Cam- bridge actuated by the same motives of kinship and interest might aid us in getting the syndicates that control the Claren- don and Pitt presses to turn over to us some of their publications as a donation.

 Description: I have been wanting to write to you ever so long, but will not take up limited time and space with uninteresting excuses. I have simply overburdened myself, and have to cry "Mea Culpa!" in regard to many, many omissions of duty. I know you will be glad to hear that I got old Mr Cummings again at work upon our sections in the cemetery & it looks so neat and clean, walks all around it, included, that I only wish you could see it before the summer drought spoils everything. Of course I had to resow grass seed, for it just seems as if grass will not retain its hold there, on account of too much shade and the inevitable summer droughts.

 Title:  Letter from W. M. Thornton to Carter Thornton, April 14, 1896; [a machine-readable transcription]  
 Published:  1995 
 Description: I sent off a long letter to mamma on yesterday. Tonight I hear that her second draft has come and so I shall scratch this note off for you and begin to think that you are really coming home again, when the money for your steamer tickets has to be sent on. I shall surely be glad to see you. The two troubled, sorrow- ful years seem very long and very lone- ly and I wonder now that I could brave a second and a worse one after the unhappy first. Today real dig- ging began for our new buildings. The other contracts are not yet let out and will not be until May. But it makes us all feel more cheerful to have any actual work going on. Jack had a card from Mrs. Stapleton this even- ing announcing her safe arrival at Hamburg. She is with you long since, of course, and you have extracted all her news. I trust she is more cheerful under the German skies and that the climate and life will be good for her. She is fond of music and will enjoy that, I know; and I think she will be glad to be with your mamma and Janet once more. Is it not queer how your mamma's little canary has perked up since he got home? He never sang a note from the day he left the UVa on his journey to Montana. A few days after I got him back I heard him apparently trying his throat, and now he wakes me almost every morning, warbling away as soon as the skies brighten— not so sweetly as of old, but still real singing again. He would be a little buzzard, however, if he did not sing now. The Spring is fairly opening, the air is soft and mild, and the mocking birds are fluting away for dear life. This little fellow is ashamed to be left out of the concert. I shall send your mamma two announcements which will inter- est and amuse her — one of Becnel's graduation as Doc- tor of Medicine at the Tulane (I told her of meeting him there) — the other of Mayberry's marriage to Miss Rhett of Charleston. I think that is doing pretty well for both of our old friends. The Dramatic Club had to postpone their Easter entertainment because of Jennie Randolph's illness. They telegraphed for Lizzie Harrison to take her place and Lizzie is to come; but she will need some time to learn the part and rehearse thoroughly and so the play was put off for two or three weeks. Mary Stuart went off yesterday to Roanoke on a visit and to be for a time under her Uncle Willie's professional care. The poor little child looks badly and I am afraid no doctor can do a great deal for her. Her cheerfulness and high spirit are undaunted however; she is always bright and gay and full of interest in life. Dearest love to all of you from the Doc up to mamma. Write me a line when you can. We are all well, and the various invalids of our community are all doing nicely.

 Title:  Letter from John T. Thornton to Mrs. E. Rosalie Thornton, Oct. 27, 1895 [a machine-readable transcription]  
 Published:  1995 
 Description: I write to let you know of a most fearful calamity which has befallen the dear old University. This morning I heard cries of fire and found that the Annex was in flames. Everyone was running to the Rotunda and soon a large crowd was assembled. No water could be gotten as high as the flames, only a miserable little stream of water about six feet in length came from the hose when at the level of the ground. In response to telegrams, Lynchburg and Richmond sent their engines by special trains, but the Lynchburg engine was delayed in the road and did not arrive within an hour of the expected time. I received a telegram from Richmond when the fire had been almost put out & wired back not to send the engine. Their was nothing to do but to try to keep the fire from Buckmaster's and Tuttle's houses and to save all that was within the Rotunda and annex. They tried to blow up the portico between the Annex and the rotunda in the hope that, if the engine should arrive in time, the lib Rotunda might be saved But all to no purpose. Soon the flames had gained possession of the Rotunda and nothing is now left standing but the bare and ruined walls. The boys worked like fiends to save all that was possible. Kent estimates that only 1/10 of the books was saved but he is wrong—In my opinion at least 1/3 or over were saved. The Austin Collection was lost entirely. The statue of Jefferson, Minor's bust, the pictures were saved in fairly good condition. The School of Athens was lost. Uncle Frank's valuable physical apparatus was carried out but the greater part so broken as to be practically useless. Only 25000 insurance wh. no where near covers the loss. Is estimated that 75000 will scarcely rebuild the rotunda and annex to say nothing of loss in books and instruments. No change in lectures which will continue as usual, the classes meeting in Wash Hall, Temperance Hall, Museum and Professor's offices. Papa is back in his old room — 5 W.L. where the chairman's office will be. Papa is so busy that he cannot write to you to night and told me to let you know of the loss. Am so exhausted myself that I cannot write much. The Professors are taking it bravely — not lamenting the past but making plans for the future. You can imagine how distressed everyone is. I myself, now that the excitement has worn off, am getting more and more miserable every minute and I can't expressed to you my sorrow. I love this old University with all my heart and if I who am comparatively young am so grieved what must be the distress of those old professor's who have worked for the University so long and lectured so often within those now ruined walls! What a number of blows have struck this University within the year you have been away! Misfortune after misfortune has crippled its usefulness and now that this crowning glory of the University, this building planned and built by Jefferson, this splendid library, our so famous copy of the School of Athens, the dear old clock that never kept time, should be destroyed seems the seems to be the crowning evil and the worst that this Nemesis who pursues us could let fall on our heads. Horrible! horrible! horrible! The things gets worse the more I think about it. However lamentations do no good. We can only depend on state aid and the generosity of our alumni. Have just opened a telegram from Geo. Anderson of Richmond saying that he wanted to start a subscription immediately. Telegrams of sympathy come from all sides. O'Ferral seems especially interested. That is a good sign that the state will help us. Some taking a cheerful view of the situation say that in the end it will benefit the U Va. by bringing her more before the people. Cannot offer any opinion on that subject. Thank you very much for the beautiful pair of gloves and more especially for thinking of me and of my 20th anniversary. Had intended to write you a special letter of thanks to-day but am too tired and miserable. Love to the children and yourself. Excuse hasty scribble, & believe me

 Title:  The Regular Toast. Woman—God Bless Her [a machine-readable transcription]  
 Published:  1997 
 Description: The toast includes the sex, universally: it is to Woman, comprehensively, wheresoever she may be found. Let us con- sider her ways. First, comes the matter of dress. This is a most important consideration, in a subject of this nature, & must be disposed of before we can intelligently proceed to examine the profounder depths of the theme. For text, let us take the dress of two antipodal types — the savage woman of Central Africa, & the cultivated daughter of our high modern civilization. Among the Fans, a great negro tribe, a woman, when dressed for breakfast, or home, or to go to market, or go out a pick-up dinner, or to sit at home, or to go out calling, or to a simple or to take a simple tea with friends & neighbors, or to go out calling, does not wear anything at all but just her complexion. That is all; that is her entire outfit. It is the lightest cos- tume in the world, but is made of the darkest material. It has often been mistaken for mourning. It is the trimmest, & neatest, & grace- fulest costume that is now in fashion; it wears well, is fast colors, doesn't show dirt; you don't have to send it down town to wash, & have some of it come back scorched with the flat-iron, & some of it with the buttons ironed off, & some of it petrified with starch, & some of it chewed by the calf, & some of it rotted with acids, & some of it exchanged for other customers' things that haven't any virtue but holiness, & don't fit you anyhow, & ten-twelfths of the pieces over- charged for, & the rest of the dozen stolen"mislaid." And it always fits; it is the perfection of a fit. And it is the handiest dress in the whole realm of fashion. It is always ready, always "done up." When you call on a Fan lady & send up your card, the hired girl never says, "Please take a seat, madam is dressing — she will be down in three-quarters of an hour." No, madam is always dressed, always ready to receive; & before you can get the door-mat before your eyes, she is in your midst. And the hired girl never has to say to a lady visitor, "Please excuse madam, she is undressing;" & even if she ever had to bring such an excuse at all, she wouldn't say it in that way: she would say, "Please excuse madam, she's skins, not herself!" Then again, the Fan ladies don't go to church to see what each other has got on; & they don't go back home & describe it & slander it. The farthest they ever go is to say some little biting thing about the ultra fashionables
