 Description: The Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia met in annual session this 12th day of June 1893. Knowing as you do, my physical condition you will not be surprised at the contents of this letter. My work during the session of the University, has hitherto embraced a daily lecture of an hour and a half besides multiform incidental engagements. My son's assistance has been very valuable to me, and to the students, but without much lightening my labors. Now however, the state of my health will oblige me to devolve on him a more important part of the instruction in the school of Common and Statute Law, than thus far has falled to his share, and I desire to submit to the Board of Visitors, through you, the propriety of enlarging his compensation to the sum I believe originally proposed for my assistant, namely $1500. Your Architects beg, 1st To acknowledge their error in the assumption that aught but your appreciation of their position could lead to their relief. Having learned that you desire to know whether in my opinion, Mr Jas H. Gilmore, Jr. has manifested such an acquaintance with the law as to warrant me in signing his diploma should the Board signify a willingness to admit him to the degree, I would answer unhesitatingly yes. Mr Gilmore's daily recitations were more than usually satisfactory, as were also his intermediate examinations, averaging above 5/6 the And his answers to the questions propounded for the degree (which were given privately, but under due safeguard), amounted also, to more than 5/6 ths. Gentlemen, The Committee on Finance respectfully reports that the Proctor's annual Report and the settlement made by the Commissioner of of Accounts show a balance in the hands of the Proctor for the fiscal year ending June 15th 1893 of $5125.66. This sum does not include $1275.00 which is a part of the appropriation made to the Library last year and which was not expended. This latter sum stands on the Proctor's books to the credit of the Library fund.
