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

When the following proceedings were had. In pursuance of the adjourning order of 19th of March.
