date in the President's Office, East Lawn, Enclosed please find copy of my letter to The Virginia
Trust Co. of this State, which you will please file as my report
on the loan of $12,000.00 to Messrs. A. W. Mosby and H.
E. DeWitt. I am sending you herewith, for the account of the Rec-
tor and Visitors of the University of Virginia: The Virginia Trust Company insists upon its charge of
$150.00 for its services with the loan of bonds to the National
Exchange Bank. Mr. Gilliam, President of the Bank,
took the position, in which I concurred, that $50.00 was a
fair amount for his bank to pay for this service, and, while
I feel that the charge of the Virginia Trust Company is somewhat
excessive, inasmuch as they have declined to reduce it,
I have authorized them to charge the account of the University
of Virginia with $100.00, in settlement of balance on
this transaction. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

date, there being present only the Rector, and Visitors Craddock
and Harmon, an informal conference was held with the
President, and adjournment made subject to call of the Rector. University of Virginia,
April 10th, 1908. As you know from my reports to you of earlier date,
I have for some time felt the coming on of age, and the inevitable
necessity for laying down the responsibility of my
pleasant duties in the service of the University. I beg to acknowledge with sincere regret your communication
of March 16th, putting into my hands, for transmission
to the Visitors, your resignation of the Professorship of
Chemistry in the University of Virginia. I shall present to
the Visitors, at their approaching meeting, your formal letter
of resignation, with the request that they take such action
as they may deem fit and proper. It is with great regret that I feel compelled, by the
pressure of age, and resulting loss of health and strength,
to give up work in the service of the University of Virginia May I ask you to tender to the Rector and Board of Visitors
of the University, my resignation as Professor of Pathology,
to take effect September 15th, 1908, and also convey
to them my regret at being "compelled" by the insistence of
the call to a similar chair in my alma mater, the University
of Wisconsin, to leave the Medical school at this period in
its development. I send herewith the copyright
of the "Geology of Virginia" for the department of Geology
of the University of Virginia, for its use without limitation
as to time or other considerations. I beg to acknowledge the receipt of the copyright to
the "Geology of Virginia" for the Department of Geology in
the University of Virginia. I beg to renew our very sincere
appreciation of your great kindness and generosity. I believe
that the William Barton Rogers Chair of Geology here, since
the establishment of the State Survey at the University, is
destined to carry out in a noble way the original plans so
splendidly laid out by your husband. I now make my third and final report, acting under decree
in this cause of January 4th, 1908. This report embraces a
full and detailed account of the Receipts, Disbursements, and
Transactions of the Norfolk Bank for Savings and Trusts, Adm.
