In obedience to a resolution of the board of Visitors of the University of Virginia, of , I have examined the several Proctor’s accounts for the Central College, and University of Virginia, and made a separate report10 at the close of each account, viz: Alexander Garrett, Proctor to the Central College. See journalized ledger (page before 1,) of the Central College.11 Nelson Barksdale, Proctor to C. C. Said ledger, page 4.12 Said Barksdale, Proctor U. of Va. page this book 2.13 A. S. Brockenbrough, Proctor to the U. of Va. page this book 232 and 233.14 Items added this day on account N. Barksdale per report above,15 to which said reports refer for items in the Proctor’s accounts for which no vouchers are filed in the office of the Proctor of the U. of Va.16 From all of which, the whole subject being brought into this book,17 it appears there are drafts afloat, drawn by the Proctor on the Bursar, to the amount of $797 94½, agreeably to the balance struck on this book.18 A report to the same purport of this, is on the account current book of the Proctor of the U. of Va. page 115.
