My Dear Sir
The enclosed resolutions are
under the consideration of the Faculty. There is
a strong wish on their part to acknowledge in
a becoming manner your handsome liberality to
the College. & this whether you continue the donation or not. They are
sent for your criticism & approval. If
it is your intention to extend further what, since
the burning of the College, you have been doing, not
that you have not already done more than
could have been claimed- or expected- &
if you wish to have whatever else you may give
[expounded?] in the manner indicated. Have
the goodness & send me with the resolutions.to write-requesting such a
disposition to be made-or better still-noting
that your subscription The Literature in what you [profess?] is for the Library-and
also the time during which you will probably
[entertain?] the gift-that the faculty may be
able to judge as to the number of books it will
be judicious to purchase.
Williamsburg-Jan 30th 1861. Yours sincerely- Benj, S, Ewell-
Dr John, M, Galt-
