14631Littleton Dennis Teackle to James Madison, 1 March 1832 (Madison Papers)
I have lately taken the liberty of sending to you several of our legislative documents; and now have the pleasure of inclosing a Report extended under a special order this House—not for any merit which the paper may contain but mainly for the purpose of availing of the occasion to renew the expression of my high respect and esteem for your character and person—and to tender the assurance of my...
14632William Madison to James Madison, 6 March 1832 (Madison Papers)
I can find no paper relating to the Shares in Loyal Company. No paper was transmitted by me to Richmond. The Books of the Company contain the evidence of our Fathers interest in the Shares. I have for a long time wished to visit you but the very low state of my wife’s health has prevented me. If I can leave her at night I will come up in a day or two and examine the Ledgers & papers in your...
14633Robert M. Patterson to James Madison, 7 March 1832 (Madison Papers)
Under the law which allows students, above 20 years of age, to "reside out of the precincts, in such private boardinghouses as the Faculty may approve," permission was granted to Mess. Fairfax Catlett, Alex. G. Taliaferro, and Wm. P. Clark to live with Mr. Meredith Jones, on the Charlottesville road. Mr. Jones has recently removed, from his former residence, to Gen. Cocke’s House, on the same...
14634James Madison to Henry Clay, 13 March 1832 (Madison Papers)
J. Madison with his best respects to Mr Clay thanks him for the Copy of his speech "In Defence of the American System &c" It is a very able, a very eloquent, and a very interesting one. If it does not establish all its positions, in all their extent, it demolishes not a few of those relied on by the opponents. J. M. feels a pleasure in offering this tribute to its merits. But he must be...
14635James Madison to Thomas Marshall, 14 March 1832 (Madison Papers)
J. Madison has duly recd. the pamphlet copy of Mr. Marshalls speech "on the abolition of Slavery," with wch. he has been favored.

14636James Madison to Robert M. Patterson, 14 March 1832 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. your letter of the 7th. & hope my Colleagues will have decided the question it proposes. If it turns on a dispensing power, I do not know that any such belongs to the Ex Committee. But if it be thought that the security agst. a misuse of the indulgence requested by the Students named, be substantially equivalent to the conditions annexed by the law, it is not probable that the...

J. Madison has duly recd. the Copy of the "National Calendar" for which he is indebted to Messrs. Thompson & Homans.

14640Henry Clay to James Madison, 17 March 1832 (Madison Papers)
I recd. with much pleasure your obliging note of the 13t. inst. Anxious to deserve your good opinion, allow me to say, in defence or mitigation of the "effusion of personal feeling," that the name of Mr Gallatin had, prior to the meeting of Congress, been put forth by a late Governor of So. Carolina, with much parade, as opposed to all American systems ; that he had accepted the appointment of...
