[Letters] 1876 May, Richmond, Va. to John A. Broadus, Buffalo, N.Y. | WorldCat.org (original) (raw)

Summary:May 16: Toy reports to Broadus about the action of the Trustees of the Seminary. "The action of the Board of Trustees of the Semy. [Seminary] has been right satisfactory. The Ky. endowment is to be closed of June 1877, and the whole affair June 1878 after which if the 500,000 shall not then have been raised, the Semy. [Seminary] is to be suspended till it is raised. Dr. Williams is to have leave of absence for one year with continuation of salary; in the event of his death the salary is to be paid to his family up to the end of the year." He writes about "the painful position in which we are put by the fact that Dr. J.L. Burrows communed with Taylor's Cambellite Church here last Sunday. He believes that Burrows thought the church "though eccelesiastically separate ... to be spiritually and doctrinally in harmony with his own."
