 Description: In pursuance of a call by the Rector, the Board of Visitors met today at 2 oclock P.M. present T.J. Randolph, Rector, J. R. Edmunds, J. B. Baldwin, M.R.H. Garnett, Wm. J. Robertson and James Neeson, Wm. J. Joynes, Visitors when the following proceedings were had. I feel it to be due to myself, and to you, my associates in the Board of Visitors, to lay before you, at this my earliest opportunity, the accompanying correspondence which has recently taken place between Professor Harrison and myself. I present copies only, holding the originals, so far as in my possession, subject to the call of the Board. It will be seen that the subject of this correspondence is a letter written by Professor Harrison to Alexander Rives Esqr. Senator from Albemarle County, in the Virginia Legislature. Having understood that a letter written by me to Alex Rives Esqr and designed to be private, had given offence to some members of the Board of Visitors, I wrote to a friend a note, which he was authorized and directed to show to Mr Edmunds, then in Richmond. The object of that note, as set forth in the note itself, was to do what I considered only right and just to do, by disclaiming any purpose to give by the letter referred to any offence to any member of the Board of Visitors or in any way to impugn the motives which may have prompted their action. Regretting as I do, that any expression should have been used by me that was susceptible of such construction. I avail myself of the opportunity afforded by your request to repeat to you directly what I said to him through a friend and to authorize you to make such use of it as may be consistent with the only purpose and end of the explanation now given. A special meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia, having been called to meet at the University this day by the request of three of the members viz Messrs Edmunds Tucker and Robertson, the following gentlemen appeared: T. J. Randolph Rector, J. R. Edmunds J. B. Baldwin W. T. Joynes and J. R. Tucker visitors When the following proceedings were had. In pursuance of the adjourning order of 19th of March. The Rector appeared and remained at the University two days but no other members of the board having been in attendance there was no meeting.
