W. W. Minor to John H. Cocke
| Dear Sir | University va. 20 Nov [1825?] |
When I last saw you, I stated my the reasons, that would force me to quit this place, towit The detail of the regulations as respects furnishing the dormitores, (& in which I assure you I want nothing but what is fair & reasonable) & the number of Hotels rendering it impossible to realise a profit.
I have been much at a loss to come to a decission, in as much as I do not know how these matters will be determined.
I beleive I sufficiently explained myself to you on these heads. If these alterations take place [. . .] it is my wish to continue. [. . .]Your Ideas on the subject I am perfectly satisfied with.
With the highest esteem yr friend
W W Minor
