Letter, 1779 April 19, Hampden-Sydney, [Virginia], to [Thomas Jefferson], n.p.

Smith again warns Jefferson that denominational rivalries threaten the latter's plan for education in Virginia, especially the choice of the College of William & Mary as a state school; he proposes a unified religion that would overcome such obstacles, but if that is prohibitive, recommends that an interdenominational group of men meet annually to elect the College's Board of Visitors.College of William and Mary.
