University School
141 Meeting St.,
Charleston, S.C.
Oct. 7, 1896
Prof. Paul Barringer,
Chairman, University
of Virginia.

Dear Sir,

   In Novem-
ber last just after
the fire that so se-
riously damaged the
University of Virginia
our alumni resident



-2-




here in Charleston held
a meeting for the
purpose of raising
money to aid in the
restoration of the
buildings and refitting
the departments.

   At that meeting, altho'
only a small num-
ber was present,
a very generous
spirit was shown
and we raised $375.
A committee was also



-3-


appointed to ask for
contributions from the
alumni resident in
other portions of South
Carolina. I was
made chairman
of that committee
and put in charge
of the funds. The
money as collected
was put in a savings
bank at four per
cent interest from
date of each deposit.



-4-




My bank book shows
that this fund with
interest amounts to
$508.31. About [$120] $100 was
raised in the state out-
side of Charleston.

   Please instruct me
what to do with this
money. Shall I send
you a check for it,
or let it lie in bank?
On Jan. 1st $5.08 addit-
ional interest will be
due. But if you deem



-5-




it best that it be kept
in bank I would prefer
to have your authority
for so doing. The bank
is sound and safe I
think.

   For form's sake I make
a list of those that
contributed to this fund.
Considering their means
the givers gave gen-
erously. For list see
other side. In acknowl-
edging this be kind
enough to tell me



-6-




something of the progress
of the work and the
amount of money avail-
able.


Very truly
W.D. McKenney
