I have received, my dear Madam, your very friendly, and I must add, very flattering letter; in which you wish, from my own hand, some reminiscence marking the early relations between Mr. Jefferson and myself, and involving some anecdote concerning him that may have a place in a manuscript volume you are preparing as a legacy for your son. I was a stranger to Mr. Jefferson till the year 1776,...
1134Nicholas P. Trist to James Madison, 21 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
Mr. Gales having told me on Saturday that the communication in question would appear in the ensuing paper, I was apprehensive, on the receipt of your last favor, that it would be too late to avail myself of the suggestion contained in it. The paper yesterday morning, however, proved not to contain it; and I went down to the printing office as soon as I could. Mr G. (nor S.) was not in; & after...

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 .

Previous to the receipt of your letter of the 15. instant I had communicated to my colleagues of the Exve Committee Mr Randolph & Genl. Cocke the view of the division of duties between the Professor & the Tutor of modern languages in our University.

1139James 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,...
