Muscoe H.R. Garnett Letter to Sally H.A. Hunter, 1838 November 14.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/123759082

Garnett, University of Virginia, writes about life at the University particularly a student fracas that involved "drinking themselves into courage, dragging tins up and down the arcades, breaking down the Rotunda door with an axe, ringing the bell, shooting pistols off the top of the Rotunda, and breaking the windows." He briefly mentions hearing a sermon by Bishop Meade, comments on poor teaching by Dr. B[laettermann] and asks to be remembered to all at home, including servants.
