I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 19th inst. informing me of the purpose of the Beverley Club, of Staunton, to present to the University of Virginia an oil portrait of the University's late Rector, Hon. Armistead C. Gordon. I note also the request that this portrait be hung on the walls of the Colonnade Club. As an Alumnus of the University may I ask your kind assistance in placing in the proper hands a small contribution to the Permanent Endowment Fund of the Institution. I enclose for this purpose a Liberty Bond for five hundred dollars and shall be greatly obliged to you for your compliance with my request. The fall meeting of the Rector and Visitors of the University occurred here on November 26th. I had the honor of presenting your letter of last July, in which you so generously and graciously give to the permanent endowment fund of the University the Libert Bond # 665635. The Rector and Visitors directed me to extend to you their very grateful thanks and appreciation of this splendid action, and to assure you of their purpose to use this money in the permanent endowment of the University for the best interests of the Institution. I must again express my appreciation of the peculiarly handsome way in which you have done this good deed. The will of Elizabeth B.

Garrett Scholarships at the University of Virginia be and the same is hereby gratefully accepted upon the terms and conditions as set forth in her will. From: Edwin A. Alderman, President, University of Virginia: From: Edwin A. Alderman, President, University of Virginia; Major Frederick Waugh Smith notified his brother, Col. Thomas Smith, and the University of Virginia that he intended to contest the will on the grounds of the uncertainty of its provisions, but at the same time he made a proposition of compromise. On November 18th, 1910 you kindly granted permission to the Charlottesville and Albemarle Railway Company, of Charlottesville, Virginia, a corporation duly chartered under the laws of the State of Virginia, to lay its track along the terrace west of what is known as Rugby Road, from the Ivy Road on the South to the C. & O. overhead bridge on the North, distance of 1050 feet: to be laid under the general supervision and direction of the President and Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings of the University of Virginia, and the Chairman of the Executive Committee of our Board, with the condition that the track and works of the company be removed at their own expense on 60 days notice from the Board, at the pleasure of the Board. This is to advise you that my recent examination of your accounts for the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1918, disclosed no irregularities of any kind, but on the other hand, your records were found to be correct.
