Dear Sir
I should long before this time have given
you the information you required, in your note to Mr.
Saunders, respecting the claim of the late Mrs. Nelson on
the part of the estate of General Nelson given up by his devisees
for the payment of debts, if I had not expected to see you
here with other parties concerned on the days appointed
for the meetings of the visitors of the College. The late Colonel
Hugh Nelson, & Thomas Nelson, son of the General, became
pruchasers, at the sales of the lands, to the amount of about
£2700 out of which the proportion due to Mrs. Nelson,
except the sum of £386 for which she had given an order
in favour of Micajah Crew, was to be paid. This business
has never been settled; but her dividends, estimated at
one fourth of her whold claim, fall considerably short of
the purchases made by the family.
I am, dear Sir,
your most obedient servant
Robert Andrews
the Bond from General Nelson
to Mrs. E Nelson was in the
Penalty of £11,800. [illegible] £5,900

Sir
The Eastern Virginia Lunatic Assylum
having been abandoned by the Superintendant, who
was placed in charge by Governor Pierpont, the inmates
are left without proper attendance or supplies,
Humanity dictates that we should do all
in our power to alleviate the distress that must neces-
sarily ensue from this neglect or inability of the Civil
Authorities to administer the affairs of the institution.
You are therefore temporarily relieved from
duty with the 3d Pennsylvania Cavalry, and will proceed to the
Eastern Virginia Lunatic Assylum, and assume the
superintendance of it's affairs.
The Brigade Commissary has been di-
rected to supply all the subistence that can be spared
from the stores of this Brigade.
You will report from time to time
as long as may be practicable, the condition of affairs
[Page 2]
in the institution.
In the event of the town being occu-
pied by the Confederate Forces you will report to the com-
ander thereof showing him this order for his con-
sideration and action
I am Sir
Very Respectfully
William W. Averell
Colonel Commanding
