I have just recd. from Doctr. Dunglison a letter of which the inclosed is a copy; and I lose no time in making it known to you, as I am doing to the other Visitors—The following is an extract of a private letter which he also desires may be placed before the Visitors. "Professor Davis begs me to express to you officially, his desire to occupy my Pavilion and grounds when I leave the...
3[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...

John Taylor & telling me whether any thing & what appears to have passed between them, having relation to the publication of Mr. Pendleton in Octr. 1801. subscribed "The danger not over" FC (DLC) .
5James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 22 November 1830 (Madison Papers)
I inclose for yourself & Genl. Cocke, a letter from Docr Johnson, requesting the sanction of the Executive Committee to a course of Instruction to private pupils on the principles of Dentistry If the measure do not fall within the spirit of the Enactment (page 16) imposing a restraint on Professors, or be sanctioned by precedent no objection would seem to be called for; the object itself being...
6James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 16 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
Yours of the 13th. was recd yesterday afternoon. You rightly inferred my concurrence in the temporary apt. of a Tutor and I doubt not you have done right in the choice made. Mr. Hervé, whose pre[f?]erence is well attested could not otherwise, it seems be secured than by postponing a permanent appt. for the present [?]. Docr. Blatterman, preferring an oral to a written communication with me,...
7James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 22 December 1828 (Madison Papers)
Your letter of the 7th. post marked 9th. has but just come to hand, the 14th. day from its date. I need not, I am sure, express the pleasure I shall feel in contributing any thing in my power towards the object of it. The paper you inclosed was sketched with a view, as I recollect, to a prospectus for the information of subscribers, but may be so varied as to make part of a preface; whether...
8James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 23 October 1830 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. yours of the 18th. post marked 20th. inclosing the Bill of Nickline & Johnson. I am afraid the authority over us, will think the acct. very heavy one. The papers shewing the precise situation of the sterling fund, being I believe in the hands of the last Chairman of the Faculty or the Secretary of the Board of Visitors, I must ask the favor of you, to have a draft in the adapted...
9James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 6 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
I rec’d last evening your letter of Dec. 3d asking whether from my knowledge of your grandfather’s opinions, you have erred in asserting that he never entertained the opinion that a State had a Constitutional right to secede peaceably from the union, at pleasure, and that this was not his reading of the Virginia & Kentucky Resolution of 98-99. I do not recollect any precise conversation with...
10James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 11 August 1830 (Madison Papers)
I recd yesterday yrs. of the 3d inst. inclosing a letter from Mr. Crozet, which I return. It wd. seem not amiss for your answer, to permit him to make enquiries of his brother, but without authorizing any expectation that might not be fulfilled, I enclose also a letter from Mr. Hervé, in whose favor I find Mr. Cabell has transmitted you a copy of a letter from Chevalie with that of another...
11James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 28 February 1829 (Madison Papers)
I recd by the last mail from Mr Trist the inclosed copies of two letters from your Grandfather, to be forwarded to you. He suggested at the same time for consideration, whether what is said of pamphlets in the letter to Mr Adams might not clash with his comment on those sent by me. But a little candor would readily reconcile the two passages. A literal consistency indeed results from the order...
12James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 7 December 1830 (Madison Papers)
I enclose two letters from Giacomo Ruggi, & a letter from Genl Lafayette on the subject of them. I enclose also an undated answer to Ruggi who appears to have been equally precipitate in his outset, and neglectful in suffering such a lapse of time, without seeking the information on which his perseverance should have depended. If you think a different answer could be safely given, be so good...
13From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 14 July 1826 (Madison Papers)
I received by the last mail yours of the 8th. inst: The Article bequeathed to me by your Grandfather, had been delivered by Dr. Dunglison, and received with all the feelings due to such a token of the place I held in the friendship of one, whom I so much revered & loved, when living, and whose memory can never cease to be dear to me. I must beg you, my dear Sir, to assure your excellent and...
14James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 26 September 1831 (Madison Papers)
The inclosed letter was recd. several days ago. I infer from its not being followed by one from you, that the writer mistook your intention. Be good eno’ to do in the case what you & Genl. Cocke, think best; or if he cannot be conveniently consulted, what you think <is>, being assured of my concurrence. The case I believe belongs to the Faculty. But if they have scruples, it must rest with the...
15James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 19 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
I inclose a letter from Col. Colonna, with a copy of my answer. I am afraid he will be startled at the Title of Tutor if he attatches to it as I suspect he will, an inferiority to that he has underscored . Wishing you well thro the conflicting sensibilities & anticipation you may have to deal with I renew to you my cordial salutations. Draft and draft of enclosure (DLC) .
16James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 1 April 1832 (Madison Papers)
I have just recd from Professor Patterson a copy of his Circular to the Ex. Commee. notifying the death of Mr Brockenbrough, and recomending an arrangt. for filling the vacancy till the meeting of the Visitors. The expediency of the course proposed, seems well supported by his reasons for it, but Genl. Cocke & yourself will be decide on the case much better yn. I could. My Rheumatism still...
17James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 6 July 1832 (Madison Papers)
It is a painful consideration with me that I shall be unable to give my attendance at the periodical meeting of the Visitors of the University which is near at hand. A continuance of the complaint which formerly prevented it, to which has been added lately an attack of bilious fever, has reduced me to a degree of debility which does not permit me entirely to leave my bed. I must ask the favor...
18James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 4 April 1829 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. a letter from [Giles] containing a paragraph, of which a copy is enclosed. Intending, soon to write to him, I will thank you for a few lines, enabling [me] to say what is due on the points, he refers to. Having seen no acct. of the death of your young kinsman, spoken of in your late letter, we hope he has had a better fate than you dreaded; and that no obstacle exists to the...
