34 North High Street Nashville Tenn July 8 1867 Rt Revd Wm M Green DD. Chancellor of the University of the South. Montgomery Alabama: Rt Revd & Dear Sir: Enclosed I transmit to you my account as General Treasurer of the University of the South, together with the vouchers verifying the same. You will perceive that in the winter of 1861.2 I received from the Treasurers of the Dioceses the sum of $1416.05 which with the balance then in my hand, made the sum of $1426.05. This money was all in confederate notes, but with it, and a small advance which I made, I was fortunate enough to clear off the indebtedness of the Corporation to the amount of $1454.72 Earning a balance of $28.67, due me. I beg that the [A/C?] may be examined and that I may be informed if it proves satisfactory.
It may be proper to remark that this statement does not by any means exhibit the actual condition of the Treasury from the fact that by Order of the Trustees dated Oct 15 1869 the accruing interest moneys in the hands of the Treasurers of the Dioceses were directed to be paid to the Chairman of the Executive Committee. What amount was paid and how expended, I have no means of knowing
Very Respectfully yrs Jas B. [E?i?head] Genl Treasurer of the U of the S.
