Letter to Socrates Maupin, 1861 April 17.

Washington is unable to excuse the University of Virginia from a tax on chemicals. He declines an invitation to visit and expresses dismay at the South Carolinians assault on Ft Sumter, and the failure to restore the Union by concession and compromise or allowing a peaceable secession of the cotton states. The issue has put him and his brother on opposite sides. He hopes Virginia will remain in the Union, for if Virginia leaves it will bring war to the state; in which case he hopes the University will be far from danger.
