Your letter of the 7th. has just come to hand. I enclose a copy of my letter to Mr. Everett, that to Mr. Ingersoll I cannot find. It was published in several news-papers of the day, not improbably in some one at Richmond perhaps your files can refer Mr. Smith to it. I know of no pamphlet containing the two letters. I am obliged to say that my health is not such as has suggested to you, I hope...
I have just received the enclosed letter from Mr. Hassler, and I think myself justified in saying that I believe him to be a very honest man and possessing in a high degree the knowledge required in the professorship of natural philosophy. His competitors being unknown to me I cannot speak of their respective qualifications compared with his. Should the choice of the Visitors fall on him my...
I have just recd. the inclosed papers from Docr. Carr with a request that I wd. forward them to you, to enable you to make out your Report, as Rector pro: tem With cordial respects & regards RC (ViU) ; FC (DLC) .
I have seen no evidence yet that a Successor has been appointed to Mr Breckenridge. I hope the Govr. has not waited for the formality of a notice of his death as the event was a matter of certainty & notoriety, and as well known to the Govr. as it could be to any of the Visitors, I took for granted that there wd. be no scruple or delay in filling the vacancy. On the first suggestion that I...

I received by the last mail yours from Albemarle with the documents referred to. That from Nelson with its accompaniments, had previously come to hand. I regret much my loss of a visit which I was so near being favored with. Besides the personal gratifications it would have afforded me, we could not well have been together without touching on topics not personal, and on which our ideas might...
I wrote you a few lines last evening in answer to yours of the 22d. Resuming my search for the letter of June 29. 1821 I have been successful & hasten to give you the words omitted in your copy. "After their full lustre" fill the blank with the words, "to the arguments agst. the su’ability of States", by individuals. I was rather surprized to find such a substantial identity in several...
I have this moment only recd. yrs. of the 22d. I regret the delay as you wished an earlier answer than you can now have, tho’ I shall send this immediately to the P.O. My correspondence with Judg Roane originated in his request that I wd take up the pen on the subject he was discussing or about to discuss. Altho’ I concurred much in his views of it, I differed as you will see with regard to...
Among my letters from Judge Pendleton is one which relates to the Judicial Bill, as then before the Senate of the U. S. A copy of it had been sent to him by R. H. Lee with a request of his observations on it, and a Copy of these enclosed by Mr P in his letter to me. It is remarkable that altho’ the observations are numerous, and descend to minute criticisms none of them touch the <>th Section,...
I did not receive your pamphlet till a few days ago; and your letter of the 29th. Ult. till yesterday. I thank you for the former which did not need the apology it contains to me. I am not surprized at the good reception it meets with. The views it presents of its topics, and the documents & extracts enforcing them, form an appeal to intelligent readers that could not be without effect in...
