Selected Documents Concerning the Stables

Dear Sir, University Va June 27th '25

We are about to commence the brick work of the Stables, the situation for the eastern range pointed out by you is rather unfavorable in consequence of the ground falling two ways, (to the east & south) about fifty or sixty yards from the place designated by you and on the same side of the eastern street there is a beautiful situation for them, if agreeable to you, I will place them there--If you have any written contract with Capt Perry about the last purchase of land I should be glad to see it, there is a barn on it, that I wish to put the Rye we have made in, but he objects to it untill he gets his grain that stands in the same field secured the taking or using the barn, would not be attended with any inconvenience to him--let me hear from you by the return of the boy--I am Dr Sir most respectfully your Obt sert

Th: J. to mr Brockenbrough. June 27. 25.

I approve of the position for the stables which you propose, provided it be exactly in the line designated, that is to say, provided their front is exactly in the range of the line of the future Hotels &c. on the opposite sides of East & West streets. Perry's deed is not in my possession I think he took it to have it recorded, and I suppose you will find it in the clerk's office. friendly salutations.
