To Lucy Booton from John G. Booton

- Scope and content:
-
"The University of Virginia receives an annuity of $15,000 from the state and one of the conditions on which it receives it is that there shall be one student from every congressional district from the state educated free of charge for tuition and boarding. I could perhaps get in there from the Paige District, but it would make me feel a little too degraded to be educated at the expense of the state. Besides, the Virginia University is one of the best, if not the very best, college in the United States."
