 Description: The Board met in pursuance of adjournment on the 13th of June last. Owing to the present condition of the health of your son, Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., we, the Committee appointed by the Board of Visitors to consider and report upon all matters pertaining to the School of Law in the University, hesitate to recommend him for re-election as your assistant for the ensuing session. We are informed, however, that your son, Mr. Raleigh C. Minor, is in vigorous health, and that he is now assisting you in your summer school. We desire to recommend him to the Board as your assistant for the ensuing session at a salary of Fifteen Hundred Dollars. We trust you will appreciate our position in this matter and that you will know that we place a high value upon the work done by Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., in your classes so long as his health continued good. We greatly regret to learn of his pain for some months past, and we trust that he may speedily be restored to perfect health. We desire to ask through you whether Mr. Raleigh C. Minor will accept the position of assistant in your school, and as we are considering the propriety of establishing a new chair in the School of Law, we will deem it a favor if you will kindly suggest the subjects to be assigned to the new chair if established. We hand you, herewith, an outline of a scheme of reorganization of the School of Law that we are considering, and we would be glad to have you give your views of the same. With sentiments of high esteem, we are We have maturely considered your views in relation to the School of Law in the University, and have given them the weight that we feel your opinions on such a subject are entitled to. We have also consulted medical experts as to the prospects of the ability of Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., to give you such assistance during the ensuing session as we deem it necessary for you to have, and we are strongly advised that there is but little probability of his being able to do so. Yours of this date is received, and whilst I desire to make my cordial acknowledgments for the kindly spirit manifested towards myself, as well as towards my son John, I am obliged to confess that it occasioned me not a little concern in respect to what I conceive to be the interests of the University, as affected by the creation of another professorship. A multiplication of teachers is frequently, if not generally, a curtailment of instruction. I trust it will not be so here.
