Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mr. George Peabody's Gift for Southern Education: Proceedings of the Trustees
Gentlemen: I beg to address you on a subject which occupied my mind long before I left England, and in regard to which, one at least, of you (the Hon. Mr. Winthrop, the distinguished and valued friend to whom I am so much indebted for cordial sympathy, careful consideration, and wise counsel in this matter, ) will remember that. I consulted him immediately upon my arrival in May last.
I refer to the educational needs of those portions of our beloved and common country which have suffered from the destructive ravages, and the not less disastrous consequences of civil war.
