University of Virginia Library

Carter Bequest.

We are informed by Mr. Lewis Cass Ledyard, Executor of
Hon. James C. Carter, that he gave a legacy of $10,000 to the
University of Virginia without restriction of the gift. The
will has not been admitted to probate. Legally the legacy is
not payable for a year, unless the persons entitled to the
residuary estate should consent to its being paid before that
time. Mr. Ledyard states that one of the residuary legatees
may be found incapable of giving such consent, as he is informed
that she is in a retreat.
