Transcribe Kemper, James L. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1876-03-23)

Richmond 23 March 1876

Dear Sir:

Your two letters, in regard to the possible donation of a cabinet of minerology &c the University of Virginia, have been received.

Of course you will need no assurance that such a gift would evoke the warm gratitude of all Virginia, or that the cabinet would be strictly cared for.

Very respectfully &c.

J. L. Kemper

Prof. Francis H. Smith
