	Description:	I was resident in this city during the year 1793. Many motives contributed to detain me, though departure was easy and commodious, and my friends were generally solicitous for me to go. It is not my purpose to enumerate these motives, or to dwell on my present concerns and transactions, but merely to compose a narrative of some incidents with which my situation made me acquainted. Here ended the narrative of Mervyn. Surely its incidents were of no common kind. During this season of pestilence, my opportunities of observation had been numerous, and I had not suffered them to pass unimproved. The occurrences which fell within my own experience, bore a general resemblance to those which had just been related, but they did not hinder the latter from striking on my mind with all the force of novelty. They served no end, but as vouchers for the truth of the tale.

	Description:	I sit down, my friend, to comply with thy request. At length does the impetuosity of my fears, the transports of my wonder permit me to recollect my promise and perform it. At length am I somewhat delivered from suspense and from tremors. At length the drama is brought to an imperfect close, and the series of events, that absorbed my faculties, that hurried away my attention, has terminated in repose.

	Description:	I am very far from being a wise girl. So conscience whispers me, and though vanity is eager to refute the charge, I must acknowledge that she is seldom successful. Conscience tells me it is folly, it is guilt to wrap up my existence in one frail mortal; to employ all my thoughts, to lavish all my affections upon one object; to dote upon a human being, who, as such, must be the heir of many frailties, and whom I know to be not without his faults; to enjoy no peace but in his presence, to be grateful for his permission to sacrifice fortune, ease, life itself for his sake. "If you ever injured Mr. Talbot, your motives for doing so, entitle you to nothing but compassion, while your present conduct lays claim, not only to forgiveness, but to gratitude. The letter you entrust to me, shall be applied to no purpose but that which you proposed by writing it. Inclosed is the paper you request, the seal unbroken and its contents unread. In this, as in all cases, I have no stronger wish than to act as

	Description:	Stephen Dudley was a native of New York. He was educated to the profession of a painter. His father's trade was that of an apothecary. But this son, manifesting an attachment to the pencil, he was resolved that it should be gratified. For this end Stephen was sent at an early age to Europe, and not only enjoyed the instructions of Fuzeli and Bartolozzi, but spent a considerable period in Italy, in studying the Augustan and Medicean monuments. It was intended that he should practice his art in his native city, but the young man, though reconciled to this scheme by deference to paternal authority, and by a sense of its propriety, was willing, as long as possible to postpone it. The liberality of his father relieved him from all pecuniary cares. His whole time was devoted to the improvement of his skill in his favorite art, and the enriching of his mind with every valuable accomplishment. He was endowed with a comprehensive genius and indefatigable industry. His progress was proportionably rapid, and he passed his time without much regard to futurity, being too well satisfied with the present to anticipate a change. A change however was unavoidable, and he was obliged at length to pay a reluctant obedience to his father's repeated summons. The death of his wife had rendered his society still more necessary to the old gentleman. An hour ago I was in Second street, and saw you. I followed you till you entered the Indian Queen Tavern. Knowing where you are, I am now preparing to demand an interview. I may be disappointed in this hope, and therefore write you this. Why do I write? For whose use do I pass my time thus? There is no one living who cares a jot for me. There was a time, when a throbbing heart, a trembling hand, and eager eyes, were always prepared to read, and ruminate on the scantiest and poorest scribble that dropped from my pen; but she has disappeared; the veil between us is like death. I need not tell you, my friend, what I have felt, in consequence of your silence. The short note which I received, a fortnight after you had left me, roused my curiosity and my fears, instead of allaying them. You promised me a longer account of some mysterious changes that had taken place in your condition. This I was to receive in a few days. At the end of a week I was impatient. The promised letter did not arrive. Four weeks passed away, and nothing came from you. Yes; the narrative of Morton is true. The simple recital which you give, leaves me no doubt. The money is his, and shall be restored the moment he demands it. For what I have spent, I must a little while be his debtor. This he must consent to lose, for I never can repay it. Indeed, it is not much. Since my change of fortune, I have not been extravagant. A hundred dollars is the most I have laid out, and some of this has been in furniture, which I shall resign to him. "I shall not call on you at Hatfield. I am weary of traversing hills and dales; and my detention in Virginia being longer than I expected, shall go on board a vessel in this port, bound for New York. Contract, in my name, with your old friend, for the present accommodation of the girls, and repair to New York as soon as possible. Search out No.—, Broadway. If I am not there to embrace you, inquire for my wife or daughter, and mention your name. Make haste; the women long to see a youth in whose education I had so large a share; and be sure, by your deportment, not to discredit your instructer, and belie my good report.

The Finance Committee respectfully represents that it has received a schedule of the estate held by the Safe Deposit and Trust Company of Baltimore, Trustee, under Item 6 of the will of Evelyn M. B. Tiffany, showing the estate on hand June 22, 1947 which was the date of the death of Florence B. B. Turlington, the changes which have since taken place, the proposed partial distribution to the University of Virginia, and the balance of estate retained by the trustee to provide for the remaining annuities; that your committee has carefully considered this proposed distribution and approves of it in every respect. In addition, there was exhibited to the committee by W. Allan Perkins, attorney for the University, the form of receipt which the trustee in this trust, the Safe Deposit and Trust Company of Baltimore, desired the President of the University to execute in return for delivery to him of the securities proposed to be distributed to the University, and that this form of receipt has been approved by your committee. KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That whereas by Item Sixth of the Last Will and Testament of Evelyn May Bayly Tiffany, which Will was duly probated in the Orphans' Court of Baltimore City and is of record in the Office of the Register of Wills of said City in "Wills" Liber E.R.D. 164, folio 331, she gave to the Safe Deposit and Trust Company of Baltimore upon trust so much of her estate as might be necessary, in its opinion, to provide for the payment of the following annuities over and above all taxes (excepting income taxes) and other charges against said fund, which annuities she directed said Trustee to pay in quarterly installments, accounting from the date of her death during the life of each annuitant, apportioning same to the date of the respective deaths of said annuitants, viz: The Inter-fraternity Council of the University of Virginia respectfully represents unto The Rector and Visitors, the following: The Fraternity Advisors Association, organized in September of 1947, presents its respects to the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia. In view of the present situation and the fact that representatives of the fraternities are appearing before the Board on Friday, we thought it best that you be informed in some manner of the desired plans of the Student Council. The Student Council on behalf of the students formally protests the recent action of the Board of Visitors in forcing a group of rules upon the student body without consultation with the students. At a meeting of the Memphis Chapter of the University of Virginia Alumni Association, the action of the Visitors in undertaking to codify and set up specific rules to regulate the gentlemanly behavior of the Student Body was considered. In view of the recent regulations passed by you concerning this chapter, it is requested that you reconsider part of section three of your resolution. The part in question states, "That the four members of the SPE fraternity directly involved or who had knowledge of the occurrence be prohibited from living in the SPE house . . ." The undersigned Committee, appointed by Chairman Halsey at the meeting of the Executive Committee held September 11, 1947, to investigate and report upon the best method to be employed in the handling and administration of funds obtained through the efforts of the Development Fund Campaign, respectfully advises as follows:

Absent: Barksdale, Calcott, Combs, and Miller. At a meeting of the Board of Visitors held February 13, 1948, I am advised that - I have been asked for an opinion as to whether or not the minutes of meetings of the Board of Visitors of the University are public documents. Since the minutes of the Board may be more accurately defined as "records", I will use the latter term in the following discussion. I have been engaged to re-draft the will of a client who wishes to name the University of Virginia as a legates for the purpose of establishing a scholarship fund. For your information, there is quoted below a clause from my client's present will, which is to be rewritten to be more specific and to eliminate flaws. The quotation will, however, convey to you the intent.
