31Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 14 May 1833 (Madison Papers)
"Professor Davis begs of me to express to you officially his desire to occupy my Pavilion & grounds when I leave the University. May I beg of you to let his desire be placed before the Visitors at such time as you may think proper. It will be to my Interest, that he should take possession of it, but this ought not perhaps to be regarded." I have not heard for some time of your state of health:...
32Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 24 June 1833 (Madison Papers)
My friend Dr Patterson & myself have arranged our University matters in such sort as to be able to pay a hurried visit to his Daughter on the Rappahannock; where we shall pick up Miss Leiper, who will return with us to the University. 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....
33Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 7 October 1833 (Madison Papers)
It is my intention to quit this place, to which I shall ever be attached by many tender associations, on the 14th Inst., and I hope to be able to take leave of Mrs. Madison and yourself on that day. Our intention is to proceed to Dr. Terrill’s the same evening, so that our visit can be but short. Brief as it may be, I cannot willingly forego the pleasure of calling at Montpellier before I quit...
34Robley 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...

The inclosed memorial has been this morning handed in to the Faculty, but as they conceive that the question does not come within their Jurisdiction, they have requested me to inclose the communication to you for your decision. CSmH .
38To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 2 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I know not how to express the gratification which I feel, at the subsidence of your troublesome affection; nor the fervor with which I hope the favorable prognostication in which you have indulged may be verified. With respect to the subject of compensation for any trifling attentions which I may have been able to pay you—I beg that I may be allowed to fix my own terms, and to declare most...
39To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 18 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
An abscess, occasioned by the rays of the Sun powerfully heating my Saddle, has prevented me from visiting Monticello for the last few days, and I fear it is not sufficiently firm to admit of my venturing up today. I shall however, recommend you to take at bedtime as you are deprived of your pills and the symptoms are exacerbated, 50 drops of Laudanum in order that I may distinctly notice...
40To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 23 September 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
One of those troublesome ailments to which I have lately been so subject, is again infesting me so much that I am unable to visit you to day: so soon as it has yielded I shall make a point of calling at Monticello. ViU .

I am directed by the Faculty of the University to request your particular attention to their proceedings since the 22 d of September: and to press upon your notice the necessity of appointing an efficient police as circumstances have occurred during the last and present night which render such a measure essentially necessary. Robley Dunglison Secretary to the Faculty. ViU .
42To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 18 November 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I do not recollect the compromise to which you allude in your letter of yesterday—I well recollect your proposition on the subject, but it was waved, not agreed to, by me, as a proof of which I may state that I have not kept any account whatever against you. You will therefore do me the kindness to suffer the trifling attendance I have paid you, since the conversation to which you allude, to...
43To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 21 December 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr Jefferson will be pleased to take six grains of Rhubarb with fifteen of Magnesia , every other night, in a little milk—to use the tepid or cold affusion as directed last night—and should the symptoms of which he complained be in any wise aggravated, he had better abstain in part or wholly from vegetable food, living on Animal food & Biscuit. Should the old symptoms become aggravated during...
44To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 18 March 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
The catalogue you sent me is the one to which I alluded, but as there will be a meeting of the Faculty at my house on Monday evening, I take the liberty of detaining it in order to see whether any other periodical may be added. The scheme for the Dispensary I shall likewise return as Soon as I can inspect it. ViU .
45To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 3 April 1826 (Jefferson 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. It is true that, as yet, no individual can have passed through such a course of study, in this institution, as to enable him to arrive at the highest honors;—but as the views of the Board of Rector & Visitors have been openly...
46To 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...
47To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 16 April 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
I am requested, by the Faculty of the University of Virginia, to lay before you the following Extract from the Minutes of the Faculty & to pray your attention thereto— Robley Dunglison Chairman of the Faculty. “Resolved That a memorial be sent to be Rector, stating that if the periodicals be only furnished annually their utility will be so much diminished, that the greater part of them must,...
48To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 20 May 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
When I had the pleasure of seeing you yesterday, it escaped my memory to beg of you an inspection of the Bill of Parcels of the unopened Boxes of Books now in the University. I will therefore feel obliged by your sending them to me by the Bearer to the end that I may take out some works essentially necessary for me in the present department of my course—leaving the remainder in their places so...
49To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 21 May 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
When I requested the catalogues from you, I was not the least aware, that the Boxes, in the University, could be considered the property of M r Hilliard, but such being the case it would, of course, be the height of imprudence to meddle with them. I regret this the more inasmuch as those who attended my lectures last year will find that we possess no additional advantages this—& the two first...
