Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 30 October 1829
University of Virginia Oct. 30. 1829
Dear Sir,
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. I have the honor to be with the most profound respect, Your obed Servant
Robley Dunglison
Chairman of the Faculty
