and good will to the University. They cherish profoundly
your good service to the institution, and beg

used for the education of our youth. May I be permitted
to add the expression of my own deep gratitude and personal
affection and esteem. I am authorized by the Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia to communicate to you the expression
