{"value"=>"He cannot speak with authority on astronomy, but he believes [Joseph Norman] Lockyer to be more a chemist than an astronomer; mathematical science is essential in the problems of astronomy; as to the site of the proposed observatory, the University of Virginia has a stronger claim to public support; he favors it be cause of his early connection with it; and he favors the College at Lexington because of his respect for the great and good Gen. Lee."}
