Paid (at the
Mechanic's Bank) my note for $100 — date Nov 1. 1854, due at fifty four months — endorsed by W. H.
Barksdale, Treasr. — This is one of
the notes given for my subscription of $1000, to the "City University." Mr. Charless45 says it is the last — I hope so, but am not certain
whether it is the 9th. or 10th. note.
God forgive me for
the meanness of begrudging a voluntary subscription. The object is most worthy,
and if it had been carried out on the plan and in the spirit understood at the
time of subscribing, I should begrudge nothing in my power to give. But it has
not been managed to my liking.46
