I am favor’d with yours of the 12th: curt, & will attend particularly to your wishes, in relation to the sale of the Prints you speak of.—I wrote you on this subject by last mail, suggesting the propriety of allowing the Legislature to see them, which I am glad to find was your object.—I will put a parcel at two of the Book Stores, & offer some in the Lobby of the House of Delegates.—The balance will send on to you as directed—Neither Mr Johnson or Mr Cabell are here yet, & the former will not be probably, before 1 Jany, owing to ill health—

The amt recd for sales the Prints in question, shall be credited to the proctor of the University—

I have recd a letter to=day, from Mr A. S. Brockenbrough, covering check for $150, which he says you desire may be ford to Mr Peter Maverick of New York, to pay for these prints—which shall be done, & on the best terms possible—& supposing $150 is the sum you wish remitted, will send a dft: for that, charging the University with the premm on the dft; which will not be less than 1 Pr Ct—In haste—With great respect Dr sir
