Heath, H. M. (Horace Milton). H. M. Heath letters to Dr. George C. Tyler [manuscript], 1858, 1859

Title: H. M. Heath letters to Dr. George C. Tyler [manuscript], 1858, 1859

In a letter 1858 October 14. Heath describes the changes at the University during his two years of absence: the construction of an infirmary, gymnasium and a new hotel; the repair and cleansing of the buildings "since the sickness that prevailed last session." Heath then praises the site of the University and its views and says "it alone has rendered the illustrious sage of Monticello immortal." In a letter 1859 April 23, Heath cmments on conditions in Onancock [Va.] and Tyler's "ministerial charge" there. Heath states that "we lately held an election at the University among the students to know whom we would have governor of Virginia had we the power of electing from the two candidates now before the people for their suffrages." He notes that, among Virginia students, Goggin was elected by eight votes, but among all students, Letcher was elected by a majority of seven. He encloses two newspapers [not present]: one about the mock election and one with an article about charges of "proselytism" brought against Dr. McGuffey by Mr. Jeter. The charges center on statements made by McGuffey about forms of baptism. In a letter 1859 July 2 Heath comments on departing from the University [of Virginia] after the conclusion of his examinations. He travelled from Charlottesville to Norfolk "a distance of 208 miles in thirteen hours." He will stay in Norfolk to see the celebrations of July 4, there and in Portsmouth, which are held "with great pomp and splendor." Heath wishes Tyler much happiness on the day and hopes that all will "celebrate it in a manner worthy of a nation who claims by its Declaration to be the proudest, freeest [sic], happiest on the great sphere." Heath closes with a promise to visit Tyler in Onancock [Va.] as soon as he is able.
