 Description: At a regular annual meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia held at the University on the 13th of June 1898. You may recall that last summer a part of the piece of real estate owned by the trustees under Mr Austin's will was taken by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for park purposes. This left a small piece of the estate, containing about 5000 square feet, with restrictions against building on a part of it, thus rendering the lot really unavailable. We have now received an offer of $800.00 for this piece of land, which we consider it would be advantageous for the estate to accept. We have therefore prepared a petition to the probate court for leave to sell the remainder of the estate. If this meets with your approval will you kindly sign the assent to the enclosed petition, and as the purchaser is in something of a hurry, I would ask you to return the petition at your earliest convenience. The Board of Visitors met in pursuance of adjournment on yesterday. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. Present the same members as on yesterday, with the exception of Mr Glass who was called home. I enclose to you herewith cheque for $20,000.00 being a gift from the J. W. and Belinda Randall Charities Corporation, which was voted to you by the trustees on June 10th, 1898. With this gift goes a copy of the vote under which you must receive this gift or return it to me as trea- surer. Referring to interview with you this A.
