From Thomas C. Levins
28 Green St. N.Yk, June 14th. 1827
Sir
A few weeks since I had the honour of addressing you relatively to the Professorship of Mathcs. in the Virginia University.1 I then stated my wish to be admitted to fill the station, shd. I be deemed worthy, and shd. the present professor resign. The present letter is written, simply under the impression my former communication might not have been received.
On the subject I wrote to the Honble Mr. Calhoun, requesting him to write to you.2 I am, with much respect—yr. obdt. servt.
Thos. C Levins
