Letters to Dr. J.L. Twyman, 1850, n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50794311

In a letter, 1850 December 19, Austin, at the University of Virginia, discusses the hiring out of his slaves; asks to borrow a watch so he can make classes on time; describes a tough examination by Dr. [James L.] Cabell; remarks that Dr. [John Staige] Davis has been ill, preventing the class from doing further dissecting; and notes that many students have gone to Richmond to hear Jenny Lind. In an undated letter [ca. September 1850?], Austin describes his arrival in Charlottesville and his conclusion that it is better to board out of College rather than in a dormitory.
