[Letter] 1856 Nov. 9 & Nov. 20, Alexandria to [John Albert Broadus, Charlottesville, Va.] / J.M. Broadus. 1856.

Nov. 9. Concerning the University of Virginia: "You have probably, before this, accepted the 2nd term of the Chaplaincy. Perhaps you would do well to do so. I do not just see how you could do better now. I should be unwilling for you to leave the old dom. If Mercer University were in Virginia, I would be willing for you to be its president, but should not be particularly anxious about it. In Georgia, I have decided unwillingess. True, nowadays, Georgia is very little further off than anywhere else, but it is out of Old Virginia and that is enough. Nov. 20. More on the chaplaincy: "Dr. McGuffie [W.H. McGuffey?] stated that somebody had a letter from Bishop Johns, in which the bishop advised to get Broadus in for two years more and then break down the usage-- then they would have no difficulty in getting in the man they wanted. The idea is that Bishop Johns wishes to break down the alternation, establish a perpetual chaplaincy, and then get in an Episcopalian, because the young men of the University being the hope of the South, it is important to control their religious teachings. My family are very well, Tommie is walking much better than I hoped he would but he will be obliged to wear his shoes a long while, if the benefit is to be permanent. Rosalie is flourishing finely."
