Col. Barney to Bishop Polk, re: expenditures and work done at University Place;
land grants; his great surprise to hear from Bishop Otey that a town had been
laid off adjoining the University lands, to be called Beulah, and that an agent
with a plat is engaged in selling lots on it; a visitation from the agent, the Rev.
Mr. Lawson, and setting him right in telling him that this could not be with
connection with the University lands until certain arrangements were made;
discussion about the turnpike charter. 2 pp.
