I received your letter of the 15. Inst: on yesterday, and having considered the subject matter with the attention claimed by its importance to the University, I take the first Mail, which is closing almost at this moment, to reply.

8To Thomas Jefferson from George Loyall, 25 March 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
I am still in debt for your kind favor of the 22 d Ult mo , which reached me before my departure from Richmond. I intended and was anxious to reply to it, so soon as I could ascertain, whether or not, it would be in my power to attend the next meeting of the board of Visitors, of which, I saw, there was great doubt, from the protracted Session of the Legislature.
