Dear Sir

    I now inclose you the ratification by the board of Visitors of the loan of 5,000. D. from the Farmer's bank. the bill which gives us the 50. &Mstkout; D. has past both houses of Congress. we ought to recieve it directly, and not thro the circuitous and useless medium proposed by the law.

    We should immediately, and without any delay remit the sum of 3,000. D. to mr Appleton on account of our capitels, bases and pavement. the proper channel will be for Colo. Peyton to purchase a bill on London payable to mr Saml. Williams No. 13. Finsbury square London to the credit of Thomas Appleton Consul of the US. at Leghorn, with a request to remit it to him on account of the University of Virginia;
