180742From James Madison to Charles Johnston, 11 April 1826 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. your letter of the 4th. & return the prospectus of your intended publication with my subscription to it. There is at present a more than ordinary desire of information concerning the Indian Tribes, and a just anxiety to save, every interesting peculiarity in their physical, moral & social features from the oblivion threatened by the extinction or transformation which seems to...
180743To James Madison from Stephen Pleasonton, 12 April 1826 (Madison Papers)
At the request of our Excellent friend Mr Monroe, I have the honor to forward to you, enclosed, a copy of a report of a select Committee of the House of Representatives of the UStates, on several items of claim which arose out of his Missions abroad, and of which the peculiar circumstances in which he was placed have heretofore prevented the adjustment; and, I do this with the more pleasure as...

L’hommage que j’ai rendu au Général lafayette, votre illustre ami, et qui a semblé lui plaire, ayant probablement été perdu dans l’accident qui lui est arrivé sur le Mississipi; je prends respectueusement la liberté de vous en offrir une Copie.

180746To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 12 April 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
The Faculty are at a loss whether you are desirous or not that the whole of the Regulations of the Visitors, of which one Copy has been furnished to me by the Proctor, should be read before the classes—especially those parts which refer to intended prosecutions against Mosby, Druffins, Beverly &c. I will therefore thank you to direct us on the point, and also to request M r Hilliard not to...

It is with great pleasure that I inform you that by an unanimous vote of the Rector & Visitors of the Univ y of Virga they have appointed you Professor of the school of law. in that instn an uncertain suggestion that mr Wirt A.G. of the US. would perhaps accept the office induced them to make him the offer, but counting little on his ance, relinquishment of the high station he now fills they...
180748To Thomas Jefferson from Bernard Peyton, 12 April 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
The enclosed was sent to me, no doubt, thro’ mistake—I thank you for its contents, and regret the trouble you have been occasioned in relation to it. M r Madison has sent his Tobacco to this market for some years past, & may now be without an agent for the sale of it, & under that impression I offer my services to him:—his former agent, altho’ still living here, since his failure, will...

A thousand thanks to my ever dear Cousin, for his unbounded benevolence to me. The barrel of cider will last three of my lives, & the wine I presume is excellent for your wine is always Superlative. I am rejoiced that you and Mrs B are convalescent. George has done his duty in waiting upon you, and I hope he will do so as long as you live—Your kind and thankful friend Miss Smith sends her...
