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
