Montgomery April 9, 1862
Capt A. H. Polk Corinth
Dear Sir
Your messengers safely delivered to me two Trunks, one long Box, and Two Bundles of Papers which will be taken care off untill called for and which I sincerely hope may not be very long, and that your Faather safe from the Perils of War may assemble us together to open them and to resume his duties as our Chancellor. Two or three such glorious victories victories as you have lately attained will soon bring the vandals to their senses.
With very very warmest regards for your Father
I am very respcy
Charles T. Pollard

The deeds to the land making up the Domain of the University of the South were sent to Colonel Pollard for safe-keeping during the Civil War. Following the war, in 1866, Colonel Pollard sent the deeds to Mr. George R. Fairbanks. The land was the one asset the university still had after the war.
