RICHMOND. Va. February II. 1890.
| To The General Assembly Of Virginia
| Your memorialist, Adeline p. Russell, of
| the CITY of Richmond, has long been i'm
pressed with the belief that it would be
yeryiconducive to the welfare OF the State
and to the diminution of crime # means
should be adopted whereby, youthful OF;
| Tenders against the laws could be separated
from hardened and experienced criminals,
and means adopted for their reformation
| as well as punishment. She has most
| earnestly desired to see the Legislature OF
the State take some step in that direction.
| She is the owner of two tracts OF land IN
| the county of Henrlco, not far from the
CITY of Richmond, each contiguous TO or

thereon, and the other containing izo
acres-her title thereto being IN fee SIM

| herewith filed.
In furtherance of the end she so much
desires to see attained, she now and hereo,y
offers and proposes TO you that she VIII
convey said tracts of land to the State OF
Virginia at such time and in such manner
as YOU may byproper legislation determine
whereon to erect two reformatories, one
for Youthful white criminals, the other ior
youthful colored criminals. of either OF
both sexes; or if you. after inquiry through
a proper committee, shall ascertain tnat
said lands are not suitable places wher|nI,
TO establish such reformatories, and VIII
by proper legislation establish them else
where. she will either deed said lands 10

used in establishing such reformatories, or
she will sell them herself and give the
State the proceeds. to be so used as you
mag deem best.
She resnectfully asks that appropriate
