Professor J. L. Newcomb,
University, Va.
My dear Professor Newcomb:-

I was directed at a meeting of the Rector and Visitors
of the University, held on Thursday, June 23rd, to communicate
to you an expression of their very high appreciation of
your valuable services in connection with the building,
management, and successful development of the Cafeteria
at the University. They requested me to say that they are
not unindful of your long services in this field, extending
over a number of years, and that they are particularly
struck with the excellence of your management this year
exhibiting so handsome a surplus. In substantial appreciation
of this fact, they are offering you an honorarium
which the Secretary of the Board of Visitors will duly
communicate to you.

Assuring you of my sympathy with this action and of
my appreciation of your effective service in this field,
I am,

Faithfully yours,
EDWIN A. ALDERMAN,
President.

On motion, the meeting then adjourned.
