that in June last the two committees of the Miller
Board and the Board of Visitors of the University
met at the Board of Visitors' House, and agreed
that the status of the buildings on the grounds
known as the "Mallet House", continue unchanged. Concerning the increased cost of labor and mechanics The Executors under the will of Colonel
Payne are informed by Mr. Fuller that in or about
the month of July, 1917, at the Colonel's country
place at West Park, Colonel Payne told Mr. Fuller
that in his will he had made a legacy of $250,000.
to the University of Virginia, but that he had decided
to give that sum presently, instead of waiting
until death. Mr. Fuller further states that the next
day Colonel Payne gave to you his check for $250,000.
for the benefit of the University and said to you
substantially what he had said to Mr. Fuller about the
provision in his will and about his subsequent decision
to make the gift presently. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
