There is some discussion of meetings of the Armory\n         Commission consisting of Cocke, Col. \n          Francis H. Smith , and Capt. \n          George W. Randolph . Randolph reported\n         that \n          [James T.] Ames responded favorably to\n         their proposition and offered to furnish weapons machinery\n         used for rolling [musket barrels?].

The discussion\n         includes costs and operation by steam-engine. Cocke also\n         mentions the \"Pyrotechny \u0026 Military Laboratory\" at V.M.I.,\n         and the amount of gunpowder contracted and to be deported to\n         the magazines at \n          Richmond and \n          Lexington .

On May 3, the Commission\n         travelled to \n          Springfield to see Ames in connection with\n         the manufacture of sabers at \n          Chicopee . They met with Major \n          [William Anderson?] Thornton of the \n          United States Army , who had just\n         completed his inspection of 1,000 cavalry sabers made by Ames\n         for \n          Virginia . Ames agreed to meet them at his\n         works at \n          Chicopee , where the Commission had a tour\n         during which they saw the operation of machinery by water and\n         the machine shops with wrought iron and specimens of hinge\n         castings. Cocke mentions that Ames makes many crossfield guns\n         and howitzers for the \n          United States Government, and is\n         manufacturing the rifle-musket for the Queen of \n          Spain .

Courteney , currently a\n         professor at the \n          University of Virginia , along with \n          James L. Cabell , another University\n         professor. He mentions the arrival of servants with a carriage\n         buggy and four horses. The next few entries contain brief\n         notes about the weather. The beginning of this diary also\n         contains notes on \n          Warm Springs property, the \n          Warm Springs Company (incorporated in\n         1815), and touches on the subject of slaves owned by the\n         Company, capitol, and acreage, and mentions Brockenbrough,\n         Taylor, and Patterson.","The 1860 diary contains entries from April 25 through May\n         3, and discusses a meeting in \n          Richmond of the Board of Visitors of the \n          Virginia Military Institute and subsequent\n         plans and courses of action. The April 26 meeting was held in\n         the office of Adjunct-General \n          William H. Richardson , and was also\n         attended by Col. \n          William McLaughlin , Col. \n          Samuel Downing , and Col. \n          Francis H. Smith . During the meeting,\n         they adopted a resolution authorizing Superintendent Smith to\n         proceed with recommendations outlined in his report to the\n         Board on [\"Scientific Education in Europe\"] and later\n         submitted to the General Assembly. The Act of March 28, 1860,\n         increased the annuity to V.M.I., and the sum of $20,000 was\n         specifically appropriated for building purposes. Another\n         meeting that afternoon was attended by Gen. \n          George Blow and Col. \n          William H. Payne in addition to the\n         others. There is some discussion of meetings of the Armory\n         Commission consisting of Cocke, Col. \n          Francis H. Smith , and Capt. \n          George W. Randolph . Randolph reported\n         that \n          [James T.] Ames responded favorably to\n         their proposition and offered to furnish weapons machinery\n         used for rolling [musket barrels?]. On April 27, the\n         Commission discussed plans for organizing and operating an\n         armory, a decision to examine the \n          Springfield Armory and visit Ames' works\n         at \n          Chicopee, Massachusetts , and the\n         reorganization of the State Armory. \n          [Henry A.] du Pont furnished a plan and\n         specification for building a powder magazine, and the\n         Commission resolved to purchase $10,000 worth of powder. On\n         April 30, the subjects of the patented breech loading rifle, a\n         new English pistol, and the \n          Massachusetts Fire Arm Company at \n          Chicopee are mentioned. On May 1, the\n         Commission toured the \n          Frankfort Arsenal in \n          Pennsylvania where machinery for making\n         musket and pistol percussion caps was seen. The discussion\n         includes costs and operation by steam-engine. Cocke also\n         mentions the \"Pyrotechny \u0026 Military Laboratory\" at V.M.I.,\n         and the amount of gunpowder contracted and to be deported to\n         the magazines at \n          Richmond and \n          Lexington . He also notes that du Pont was\n         a classmate of Smith's at \n          West Point , and that he met one of his\n         own classmates, \n          Tench Tilghman of \n          Maryland . On May 3, the Commission\n         travelled to \n          Springfield to see Ames in connection with\n         the manufacture of sabers at \n          Chicopee . They met with Major \n          [William Anderson?] Thornton of the \n          United States Army , who had just\n         completed his inspection of 1,000 cavalry sabers made by Ames\n         for \n          Virginia . Ames agreed to meet them at his\n         works at \n          Chicopee , where the Commission had a tour\n         during which they saw the operation of machinery by water and\n         the machine shops with wrought iron and specimens of hinge\n         castings. Cocke mentions that Ames makes many crossfield guns\n         and howitzers for the \n          United States Government, and is\n         manufacturing the rifle-musket for the Queen of \n          Spain . The end of the diary contains an\n         expense account for this period as well as a few newspaper\n         clippings about armories and weapons."],"physloc_html_tesm":["\u003cphysloc/\u003e"],"physloc_tesim":[""],"names_ssim":["University of Virginia.

He spent another year at \n          Kobe in further language training and\n         received his ordination in the spring of 1954; at the same\n         time he began his assignment as rector of \n          St. Michael's Church in \n          Sapporo, Hokkaido .","At that time \n          Hokkaido was the weakest diocese in the\n         indigenous Episcopal church or Nippon Sei Kokai. There were\n         nineteen churches in the diocese but only nine priests, four\n         of whom were near or past retirement age. Because of this\n         shortage of Episcopal priests in post-war \n          Japan , the indigenous church called on\n         young American seminarians for relief. Tucker always pointed\n         out, however, that he and the other American priests were\n         serving at the invitation of the Japanese church under\n         Japanese bishops and not as traditional missionaries.","St. Michael's had been started by a group\n         of young men from \n          Hokkaido University who had recently\n         converted to Christianity. They bought land and built a small\n         church building and notified the bishop that they needed a\n         rector. Thus Tucker came to \n          St. Michael's . Beside his work in the\n         parish church, Tucker served as the chaplain for the \n          Fukujuen Children's Home and the \n          Misawa Tuberculosis Sanatorium , and began\n         missions in \n          Bibai , a small coal-mining area, and in \n          Wakkanai , a fishing village at the\n         northern end of \n          Hokkaido .","While at \n          St. Michael's Tucker wrote two books: \n          God Gave the Increase , which told the story of \n          St. Michael's Church , and \n          Questions on the Way , a modern catechism especially for use in countries\n         with a non-Judeo-Christian cultural background. In 1959 he\n         married \n          Jean Evelyn Morris with whom he had three\n         children. In 1959 Tucker left the parish of \n          St. Michael's in capable Japanese hands\n         and began teaching at \n          Kyoto 's \n          Bishop William Seminary in 1969. In 1984\n         he also began teaching at \n          Doshisha University , likewise in \n          Kyoto , in which two positions he remains\n         at present. Tucker has also assisted in \n          Kyoto 's Episcopal churches, and has\n         authored several books in the past two decades.","From the time of his arrival in \n          Japan , Tucker sent mimeographed circular\n         letters back home to \"Family and Friends.\" Some of these\n         letters were collected by \n          Betty Cocke of \n          Charlottesville . This collection consists\n         of 26 letters, 4 printed Christmas cards, 2 photographs, a\n         wedding announcement, and a copy of \n          God Gave the Increase .
