Lilley writes to McCormick concerning the telescope McCormick has offered to either the University of Virginia or Washington and Lee. Lilley asks McCormick to place the telescope at the University of Virginia if the University can raise the $30,000 needed to match McCormick's gift. If not, Lilley requests a chance to raise the funds for Washington and Lee.
