ALS, ViU:TJ, 1p [1659] with TJ docket "Carpenter. Oldham James." Oldham's initially
wrote "20 cent advance on the adopted rule" but changed it to "25 cent advance." Before the
closing Oldham struck out "and a cent on all Iron mongery equal to that of the retail
merchant."

Oldham modified this offer in a letter to TJ of 3 April. For the university's response to his
proposals, see TJ's two notes to Oldham of 8 April.
