On Sunday last I recieved a letter from the Governor informing me the balance of the last loan, 30,900. D was now ready for us and might be drawn for as soon as I should send a bond for it.

I have recieved your favor of yesterday , and should really think that as we have no such profession as that of measurer in our part of the country, we are under no obligation to seek them from other and distant places. if there be a difference on the mode of measuring, that might be arbitrated as well as any thing else. Did we not on some occasion lay it down with the undertakers that mess rs...

I have recd. yours of the 10th. inst.

Understanding that notice has been given to all the Hotel-Keepers except Mr. Minor that their appointments are to cease at the end of the present year, I wish the effect of it to be limited to Mr. Chapman & Mr. Richeson & Mr. Gray, it being the sense of the Executive Committee, that Mr. Spotswood and Mr. Conway should retain their Hotels; and that in case Mr. John Carter should be willing to...

I have just recd. a letter from Dr. Patterson, saying that he accepts the professorship of Nat: Philos: on the supposition that the Pavillion occupied by Mr. Long will be assigned him.

I have recd. your letter of the 7th. on the subject of the Books Maps &c assigned to the Uny by a late act of the Genl. Assembly. It is not easy to conform exactly to the terms of the Act.
