Letter to C. J. Smith from George M. Sparks

Apparently prompted by C.J. "Jay" Smith's remarks suggesting that there was little importance or even perhaps financial risk in acquiring the Bolling Jones Building, Sparks writes this letter to rather forcefully inform him of how financially sound and beneficial the purchase was. He includes a short history of the acquisition, repurposing old university trust funds to buy and liquidate the debt on the building as extra income over tenant rent.
