| Boston May 10. 1825. |
Mr. Samuel H. Walley, who signs the instrument of May seventh, as security to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia, in conjunction with William Hilliard, Bookseller, is well known to us as a Merchant of this city and we deem his security for fifteen thousand dollars as therein set forth, to be good & sufficient.
