II. John H. Cocke’s Certification of Nelson Barksdale’s Accounts as Central College Proctor

In obedience to a resolution of the board of Visitors of the U. of Va. of , I have examined the above account; beginning at page two, and running to page four, of Nelson Barksdale, Proctor to the Central College, and find the items in said account, on the credit side, marked A, supported by proper vouchers, which will be found in a book filed with the vouchers of the Central College, marked A, and deposited in the office of the Proctor of the University of Virginia. The items in said account marked B, are also supported by proper vouchers, filed with the said papers in the said office. The items in said account not marked, there are no vouchers for, filed in said office: but legal vouchers for those last mentioned items, amounting to $4,586 61, per list marked A, are in the office of Alexander Garrett, treasurer to the Central College; the same being the treasurer’s vouchers also, and therefore detained by him. The debit and credit of this account is carried into the account of the said Nelson Barksdale, Proctor to the University of Virginia; on the books of the University of Virginia, page two, a report to the same effect of this, is made on the account current book of the Proctor of the Central College of this date.
