Dillard, Harris Hart, Goodrich Hatton, G. R. B. Michie, and Alexander F. Robertson. I am sending you be registered mail (fully insured, for $102,000), a United States Certificate of Indebtedness No. 647 for $100,000. dated January 2, and due June 3, 1919, the interest of which amounts to $1,873.97 and my cheque for $48,126.03 and including the cheque for $5,000. that I handed you in Charlottesville makes a total of $155,000. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of March 14th. I have also received, by registered mail, the United States Certificate of Indebtedness No. 647 for $100,000. dated January 2, and due June 3, 1919, the interest of which amounts to $1,873.97. I have also received your check for $48,126.03. I have previously received from your hands a check for $5,000. The total of all these receipts, as you state in your letter, is $155,000. As the parents of the late Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr., who graduated from the Law School of the University of Virginia in June, 1911, and who died in France on August 29, 1918 from wounds received in battle, it is our desire to erect some usefull and enduring memorial which will permanently associate his name with the University of Virginia, - his, as well as his father's, Alma Mater. This motive springs not alone from the promptings of parental affection for the memory of an only son, - and an only child, - but from the wish to give some outward expression to the love and loyalty that he cherished for the University. I have this day received your letter of the 28th inst., with the enclosure, giving so moving and interesting an account of the life and service of your son, Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr. I have read with the greatest interest and approval the communication in which you give to the University of Virginia the sum of $10,000 to be known as the Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr., donation, and to be used for the general purpose of the enrichment of the Law Library through the purchase of books and other accessories. I note, of course, the conditions of the use of the fund set forth so clearly by you, the wisdom of which I sincerely subscribe to. I can, in advance, accept for the Rector and Visitors this noble gift, and can, in advance, assure you of their profound gratification and appreciation of the great service you have done to the University and of their pride that so brave and noble a youth shall be here commemorated. My wife and I appreciate your kind letter of the 31st ult. I have written my kinsman, Prof. R. C. Minor, consenting to the publication of the sketch. Responding to your request for the expression of a further opinion in connection with the matter of the Oliver H. Payne bequest to the University, in view of supposed new evidence, I beg to submit as follows: Whereas Oliver H. Payne, late of the City of New York, died on the 27th day of June, 1917, leaving a Last Will and Testament dated the 7th day of September, 1915, and the same was thereafter duly admitted to probate by the Surrogate's Court of the County of New York, and letters testamentary thereon were issued out of said court to the Executors named in said Will; and It was my intention and understanding in making the gift of $155,000. for the establishment of a School of Fine Arts, that $5,000. or as much thereof as might be necessary, should be used outright for the purchase of equipping the School of Art and Architecture.
