was chartered by an act of the Legislature of
Virginia, December q, 1867, Incorporating Gen
erals Henry A. Wise, P T. Moore, r. L. Walk
er, Major t. 8. Ballard, and others, and after
some experimental attempts, without satisfactory
results, was fairly started into systematic bust
ness by contract with Baltimore parties, dated
March %. 1869. But the enterprise was inter-
rupted and impeded by difficulties which, after
some months, were terminated by an engagement
with the present agents. who on the 18th of De-
cember, 1870 stipu ated to pay all expenses incl
dent to the business and monthly stipend to be
exclusively devoted to the objects of the insttu-
ton. viz: The relief of widows and orphans who
were reduced to restitution by the late war.
