From James Madison to Michael L. Tracie, 15 September 1827

To Michael L. Tracie

Montpr Sepr. 15. 1827

Sir

I have recd. your letter of the 11th inst.1 It belongs to me to say only, that it will be duly communicated to the Visitors of the University, by whom it will of course be taken into consideration with other like applications when the time arrives for appointing a Successor to Mr. Long. When that will be is uncertain and not likely to be very soon.

It is possible that there may be a call, in some of the Seats of Education in Virga for such services as you are disposed to render; but I know of none to which I could particularly refer. With friendly respects

J. M
