Transcription
Richmond Jan 15 1862 Marion Howard M.D. Surgeon Regment Va volunteer Dear Sir I am requested by the Faculty of the Medical College to address you a note of inquiry in reference to your future intentions in comission with the office of Demonstrator of Anatomy. It is deemed inconsistent with the interests of the school, that any uncertainty should hang around the occupancy of that post at the next session: and as the end of your annual term, (March 14th) is approaching, the Faculty consider that they have the right to know whether you will perform the duties, if re-elected, or remain in your present position. If the latter be your preference, they wish to have timely notice, in order that they may have a fair opportunity for the choice of a successor. They would be unwilling to fill the office by substitution for another session, and desire to publish in the annual catalogue and announcement the name of the person by whom the duties will be dis- charged. I beg the favor of a reply to the forgoing at your earliest convenience. With my best wishes for your health and success in your important theatre of duty. I remain very truly etc. L[evin] S[mith] Joynes, Dean etc. [Endorsement:] Copy of a Letter to Marion Howard M.D. relating to the De- monstratorship of Anatomy. Jan 13th [15] 1862
