It is my earnest desire to pay my respects to you, and Dr. Patterson & Miss Leiper will probably accompany me. We shall be at Montpellier on Tuesday the 2d....
183252James Madison to Edmund H. Taylor, 26 June 1833 (Madison Papers)
I have received your letter of the 5th inst: It would have given me much pleasure to have aided you in your search for information relative to the military services of your two Uncles; but neither my personal recollections, nor acquired knowledge, put it in my power to do so. In consequence of a like application from Mr. R. H. C. Taylor, I had endeavored in vain to trace thro’ the oldest...

183255Nicholas P. Trist to James Madison, 2 July 1833 (Madison Papers)
You were right in supposing that my thoughts had been given to the subject of the void made in the University by the resignation of Dr Dunglison; but I am sorry to say that it has not been to any purpose. Indeed I was satisfied from the beginning that it would be utterly impossible to fill his place, even tolerably; and that the days of the Medical School in our University were numbered. I...

183257[James Madison] to George Tucker, 6 July 1833 (Madison Papers)
I inclose my answer to two letters from Mr. Jefferson, referred to in your inquiries Thro’ Dr. Dunglison. They are in the form of extracts, the answers one of them more particularly containing irrele<vant> paragraphs, not free from delicate personalities. You will have noticed the letter of Mr Jefferson to Docr. Gem immediately following that of Sept 6. to me, as explaining the age of a...
183258[James Madison] to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 8 July 1833 (Madison Papers)
The inclosed letters contain all the information I can give on the subject of a successor to Dr. Dunglison. Neither My personal knowledge nor the enquiries such as I have been able to make can add any thing. I hope the other members of the Board will not be under the same disadvantage. I am extremely sorry that I must again fail in my attendance, but my crippled & debilitated condition makes...
183259Nicholas P. Trist to James Madison, 11 July 1833 (Madison Papers)
A note from Mr Kane informs me that Mr Longacre—whom I had previously the pleasure of knowing, and whom he speaks of as "one of our most accomplished & estimable Philadelphia artists, is on his way to Virginia, and proposes to visit Montpelier in the hope that it will not be found too inconvenient to you to allow him an opportunity to take your picture. Mr Kane says he has never seen a good...
183260George Tucker to James Madison, 12 July 1833 (Madison Papers)
My delay in returning you my thanks for your very obliging letter & its valuable contents has ill accorded with the grateful feelings they inspired. I consider that the opinions expressed in both those letters as well as the reasons by which they are supported will make them a most valuable addition to my forthcoming work. I had not been unmindful of Mr. Jefferson’s repeated references to the...
