Previous to the receipt of your letter of the 15. instant I had communicated to my colleagues of the Exve Committee Mr Randolph & Genl. Cocke the view of the division of duties between the Professor & the Tutor of modern languages in our University. From a comparison of these views with their own, and the required concert with the Professor, will result the explanation which is the object of yr. letter. I pray you Sir to accept the assurance of my best respects
