Parker, Miss Mary Tazewell, and Miss Skipwith; mentions that having an "excellent heart... is the estimable quality in a young lady"; is "anxious to see the Alumni Association put into full and complete operation" and believes that "a glorious institution may be established" regarding the association; informs him that his friend Jno.
