.o,v IN our hands for publication. We
~,crr(ully give place to it, as we have been
s.ry nyorably impressed with General
clso,,rLp, and will do all in our power TO
,,c,erve kindly relations between our peo-
,le and the new commander:
RICHMOND, Va, August 81, 1866.
y,;o,. Gc.ual Schofeld, commanding De-
1artu.entof Virginia, Richmond
Geperal,-We were panied to find in the
Washington Constitutional Union Of the
so.h instant an article herewith enclosed)
sryrrely commenting on and denonucing
your course in reference to the continued
trcupancy OF the buildings of the Rich
uond Female Institute as department head
quarters.
On behalf Of myself, and the board OF
trustees, and all others concerned IN the
management of the Institute, desire en-
rbatically TO disclaim any suggestion, or
;nsniration, or endorsement, Of the very
harsh and denunciatory spirit of the arti-
Gle: which il, moreover, in several respects
entirely inaccurate.
We firmly and candidly hold that our
claim for the prompt restitution of our
hn;Id;ng 10 the uses Of education is en-.
forced BIZ every consideration of right,
;e.,jce, and public interest; and that this
claim, in view of General Terry's promise
10 restore il, and the arrangements we have
already made and published on the faith
Of that promise, becomes almost impera-
five. We frankly avow, too, that it is our
rurposc 10 press the matter both Of rent
and Of possession before the departments
at Washington if that course becomes ne
ccSsary.
Yet il gives US great pleasure to assure
YOU that the uniform courtesy with which
YOU have ever received us, the entire sym
pa,hy you express with our purposes, the
acknowledged difficulty of finding another
suitable place for your headquarters, and
especially your declared purpose to sur
render the property as soon as practicable
which we are still hoping may be in ample
time for the re0pening of our SCHOOL, all
these facts forbid us to regard your con-
duct a. dictated By unfriendly motives,
and will not permit US to consent, by our
silence, to incur the imputation of sympa-
thy with the spirit and tone of this intem-
pcrate publication.
With considerations of high respect
lam your obedient servant,
CHARLES II. WINSTON,
President of the Institute.
