Letter from Marion Howard to L. S. Joynes resigning his position as Demonstrator of Anatomy.

Transcription

Richmond Va September 30 1863 Dear Doctor The man engaged as resurrectionist is dead; another, whom there was some faint hope of engaging, declines acting, and I am at my wits and for an "anatomical purveyor." Under these circumstances rather than discharge the duties of Demonstrator unsatisfactorily both to myself and others, it would be better to resign, and accordingly I tender herewith my resignation. As my last resignation is merely held suspended until you learnt whether or no the Faculty would agree to the proposed arrangement in regard to the board of the servant who was to attend in the dissecting room, and as that knowledge is not yet attained, it may not be thought critically necessary to manufacture a resignation de novo but I suppose it can do no harm. Yrs sincerely M[arion] Howard [Addressed:] To Dr L[evin] S[mith] Joynes Dean of the Faculty Richmond Va
