Trust Co. of this State, which you will please file as my report
on the loan of $12,000.00 to Messrs. A. W. Mosby and H.
E. DeWitt. I am sending you herewith, for the account of the Rec-
tor and Visitors of the University of Virginia: The Virginia Trust Company insists upon its charge of
$150.00 for its services with the loan of bonds to the National
Exchange Bank. Mr. Gilliam, President of the Bank,
took the position, in which I concurred, that $50.00 was a
fair amount for his bank to pay for this service, and, while
I feel that the charge of the Virginia Trust Company is somewhat
excessive, inasmuch as they have declined to reduce it,
I have authorized them to charge the account of the University
of Virginia with $100.00, in settlement of balance on
this transaction. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
