A second tract <strong>of</strong> land was bought in 1820 that bordered the Three Notch’d road and the forty-three and three<br />
quarter acres parcel that the Perrys had sold to the Central College. This second tract greatly increased the<br />

Alexander Garrett, Estimate <strong>of</strong> <strong>University</strong> Costs, 7 February 1820, ViU:JCC; see also Cabell, Early History <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong>, 179-80. Brockenbrough apparently adapted Garrett’s estimate<br />
when drafting an estimate to be enclosed in the university’s report to the Literary Fund in the fall <strong>of</strong> 1820.
