31Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 31 July 1834 (Madison Papers)
I am glad to learn from your letter of the 26th. Inst. that your troublesome complaint is, at the least, mitigated I do not think it would be advisable, in any other manner, than by the Sulphur Water, to attempt to remove the itching, as I should be afraid, that by any sudden repercussion of the irritation it might be transferred to organs of greater consequence. The internal use of the...
32To James Madison from Robley Dunglison, 22 June 1826 (Madison Papers)
Mrs Dunglison and myself have been for some time anxious to avail ourselves of the kind invitation of Mrs Madison and yourself to visit Montpellier; but we have been prevented by the Baby having received, about a month ago, the Contagion of Hooping Cough. She is now, however, so much recovered that we are anxious, if perfectly convenient to you, to pay our visit in the Course of a week or...

35Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 30 October 1829 (Madison Papers)
Some few of the Students, who are their own Guardians, have received permission from the Authorities of the Institution to be absent for a short time at the Convention. This I have considered it important to make known to you, as otherwise it might seem that they had absented themselves without leave.

36To James Madison from Robley Dunglison, 30 June 1825 (Madison Papers)
Dr Dunglison presents his respectful salutations to Mr. Madison, & would wish the Servant with the swelled neck to take 10 drops of the Tincture in the phial, twice a day, in a little sugared water, until the whole is consumed, when the Doctor would be glad to know whether the tumor is diminished by its use. Should symptoms of cholera morbus arise during the administration of the medicine, it...
37Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 19 February 1829 (Madison Papers)
I regret to see in the Enquirer of the 17th the charges of some anonymous Correspondent against the Authorities of the Institution. This I fear may be but the commencement of attacks of this character upon us, which, it may be difficult to answer. The course pursued by myself, in the case, has been a zealous one, and leaves no reproach whatever in my own mind: Still the world may not think so,...

39Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 19 March 1830 (Madison Papers)
I regret to be compelled to trouble you so frequently on business, and assure you that I shall do so no oftener than may seem necessary. The inclosed letter, however, to Mr Lomax seems to require your Perusal, although I fear we can take no steps in the matter, in our present depressed State of Finances. When you have done with the letter you will perhaps be good enough to return it to me in...

41Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 20 April 1831 (Madison Papers)
In my last letter to you it completely escaped me to mention to you, by request of Mr Davis, that, if I should leave the University at the termination, of this Session: and if he should be continued in his chair, he might be esteemed an applicant for the house I now occupy. He finds his present residence unfavorable for his abstract Studies, and considers mine would be preferable. Should I be...

43To James Madison from Robley Dunglison, 3 April 1826 (Madison Papers)
The Undersigned respectfully suggests to the Rector and Visitors of the University the propriety of instituting some regulations with respect to Graduation in his school.
