 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. M. in relation to caring for securities and handling the Sinking Fund Accounts of the University,- We beg to state our construction of agreement arrived at and if correct will be pleased to have you confirm same. I am in receipt of your letter of July 19th, I beg to State that my understanding of our agreement concurs with yours therein expressed, We have your favor 22nd and are in receipt of securities listed in same by Express. We register on our books 153 bonds $500. each, $76,500. in name of Rector and Board of Visitors of University of Virginia, and hold the same for safe keeping. We have changed Virginia Century Bonds, $28,000 from Coupon to Registered. This cost us $3.00, the charge made by Auditor of Virginia for the change. Please remit. We are in receipt of Virginia Century Bonds $20,800., advised as purchased in ours of yesterday, and have had same registered in the name of the Rector and Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia. We charge the respective Sinking Funds as per statement below, and hold bonds for account of same.

We beg to state our construction of the agreement arrived at and if correct will be pleased to have you confirm same I am in receipt of your letter of July 19th, I beg to state that my understanding of our agreement concurs with yours therein expressed.

In compliance with your request to make enquiries touching the nature and value of the Securities in which the estate of Arthur W. Austin, of Milton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, is now invested, I have the honor to report that I corresponded with Mr Bentley W. Warren, one of the Trustees of that estate, and received from him a letter under date of Sep. 24 which I herewith file, enclosing a statement of the Securities and their value as of Sep. 18th which I also file. I sent a list of these securities to Messrs W. H. Goadby & Co. Bankers, of New York, and asked them to ascertain their values, and received from them a letter under date of October 10th giving me the market values of all, save the stocks of three National Banks, the Boston and Maine RailRoad preferred stock, the East Middlesex Railway stock, and the Ogden & Lake Champlain R. R. bonds. The report of Messrs Goadby & Co confirmed the estimate of Mr Warren, adding somewhat to the value of some of the securities. I file herewith a statement showing the value of the securities under Mr Warren's estimate, showing a gross market value of $262,945. In this is not included the $80,000. invested in the Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Co. About this wrote Mr Warren, asking his opinion of its value, but have no reply. I should say from the statement furnished in Mr Warren's letter that the real estate is worth about $50,000., and assuming that the $80,000. in the Insurance Co. is worth its face, the total present value of the Estate is $392,945. I am very sorry that the receipt of your letter just after I had begun my vacation has prevented an earlier reply to your inquiries relative to the investments in the Arthur W. Austin Estate. Replying to your favor of the 30th ult., I would say that in my opinion the $80,000.00 investment in the Massachusetts Hospital Life Ins. Co. is undoubtedly good, and that the University will receive the same when the same becomes payable by its terms. We give below quotations on the securities which we were unable to furnish in our last letter, viz=

The evil that I feared had befallen them was too enormous to allow me to repose in suspense, and my restlessness and ominous forebodings would be more intolerable than any hardship or toils to which I could possibly be subjected during this journey.

 Description: In the autumn of this year I set out from Massachusetts for the remote regions of the southwest on the Spanish frontier, where I reside. When I entered the steam-boat from Philadelphia to Baltimore, having taken a general survey of the motley group, which is usually seen in such places, my eye finally rested on a young gentleman, apparently between twenty-five and thirty, remarkable for his beauty of face, the symmetry of his fine form, and for that uncommon union of interest, benevolence, modesty, and manly thought, which are so seldom seen united in a male countenance of great beauty. The idea of animal magnetism, I know, is exploded. I, however, retain my secret belief in the invisible communication between minds, of something like animal magnetism and repulsion. I admit that this electric attraction of kindred minds at first sight, and antecedent to acquaintance, is inexplicable. The world may laugh at the impression, if it pleases. I have, through life, found myself attracted, or repelled at first sight, and oftentimes without being able to find in the objects of these feelings any assignable reason, either for the one or the other. I have experienced, too, that, on after acquaintance, I have very seldom had occasion to find these first impressions deceptive. It is of no use to inquire, if these likes and dislikes be the result of blind and unreasonable prejudice. I feel that they are like to follow me through my course.

 Description: At Length the south breeze began once more to whisper along the valley, bringing bland airs, spring birds, sea fowls, the deep trembling roar of unchained mountain streams, a clear blue sky, magpies and orioles, cutting the ethereal space, as they sped with their peculiar business note, on the great instinct errand of their Creator to the budding groves. The snipe whistled. The pheasant drummed on the fallen trunks in the deep forest. The thrasher and the robin sang; and every thing, wild and tame, that had life, felt the renovating power, and rejoiced in the retraced footsteps of the great Parent of nature. The inmates of William Weldon's dwelling once more walked forth, in the brightness of a spring morning, choosing their path where the returning warmth had already dried the ground on the south slopes of the hills. The blue and the white violet had already raised their fair faces under the shelter of the fallen tree, or beneath the covert of rocks. The red bud and the cornel decked the wilderness in blossoms; and in the meadows, from which the ice had scarcely disappeared, the cowslips threw up their yellow cups from the water. As they remarked upon the beauty of the day, the cheering notes of the birds, the deep hum of a hundred mountain water-falls, and the exhilarating influence of the renovation of spring, William Weldon observed in a voice, that showed awakened remembrances—`dear friends, you have, perhaps, none of you such associations with this season, as now press upon my thoughts, in remembrances partly of joy and sadness. Hear you those million mingled sounds of the undescribed dwellers in the spring-formed waters? How keenly they call up the fresh recollections of the spring of my youth, and my own country! The winter there, too, is long and severe. What a train of remembrances press upon me! I have walked abroad in the first days of spring.— When yet a child, I was sent to gather the earliest cowslips. I remember my thoughts, when I first dipped my feet in the water, and heard these numberless peeps, croaks, and cries; and thought of the countless millions of living things in the water, which seemed to have been germinated by spring; and which appeared to be emulating each other in the chatter of their ceaseless song. How ye return upon my thoughts, ye bright morning visions! What a fairy creation was life, in such a spring prospect! How changed is the picture, and the hue of the dark brown years, as my eye now traces them in retrospect.— These mingled sounds, this beautiful morning, these starting cowslips, the whole present scene brings back 1* the entire past. Ah! there must be happier worlds beyond the grave, where it is always spring, or the thoughts, that now spring in my bosom, had not been planted there.' Minister of Jesus—A wretch in agony implores you by Him, who suffered for mankind, to have mercy upon him. He extenuates nothing. The vilest outrage and abandonment were his purpose. He confesses, that he deserves the worst. His only plea is, that he was ruined by the doting indulgence of his parents. Luxury and pleasure have enervated him, and he has not the courage to bear pain. Death is horror to him, and Oh, God! Oh, God!—the terrible death of a slow fire. Christ pitied his tormentors. Oh! let Jessy pity me. The agony is greater, than human nature can bear. Oh! Elder Wood, come, and pray with, and for `They have unbound my hands, and furnished me with the means of writing this. They are dancing round the pile, on which I am to suffer by fire. My oath, that I would possess thee, at the expense of death and hell, rings in my ears, as a knell, that would awaken the dead. Oh God! have mercy. Every thing whirls before my eyes, and I can only pray, that you may forget, if you cannot forgive
