1To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 10 February 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the honor to inform you that myself, and colleagues arrived here, this evening, after a long and tedious passage.

Of the introduction contained in the accompanying letters with which we were politely favored by M r Gilmer, we shall personally avail ourselves, so soon as 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 .
3To 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...
4To 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...
5To 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 .
6To 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...

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...
8To 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 .
9To 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...
10To 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...
