I am sorry to say that I have not been able to find, among the papers of R. H. Lee, deposited in the University, that part of his correspondence with Mr. Pendleton to which you refer. As the papers are not arranged according to any known rule, and are not always endorsed, it became necessary to examine the whole mass, which I believe I did with sufficient accuracy yesterday & today to warrant...
My delay in returning you my thanks for your very obliging letter & its valuable contents has ill accorded with the grateful feelings they inspired. I consider that the opinions expressed in both those letters as well as the reasons by which they are supported will make them a most valuable addition to my forthcoming work. I had not been unmindful of Mr. Jefferson’s repeated references to the...
You perceive that I have availed myself of your permission to keep the pamphlet which you kindly lent me, to the last moment of the fortnight. It has afforded me very full information of the views & motives of the political party with which you then acted, & exhibits them under a very different aspect from that presented by Judge Marshall. I am sensible, at every step I advance in Mr....
Your letter, directed to me at Baltimore was duly received, as well as that it referred to, (inclosing a copy of the first draught of the Constitution, & your subscription to the Museum.) on my return to this place. The draught of the Constitution was very acceptable to us, as I have no doubt it will be to our readers. It will appear next week, accompanied with a notice of the most prominent...
I send herewith 92 pages of my manuscript for your leisurely inspection—It is far from my wish to subject you to the trouble of criticising it, or even of investigating its accuracy—but I thought that a cursory perusal might enable you to detect gross errors, or to perceive important omissions, & might not be altogether uninteresting. There is not much which will not require retouching as to...
The inclosed letter to the Executive committee upon a small but most desirable change in the lecture hours, has been signed, as you will perceive, by all the Professors, except Dr. Blaettermann, & has already been approved by Mr. Randolph. Dr. B. is unwilling to give up any part of the 2 hours, but as he has only 7 students out of about 105, (the present number of matriculates) & 6 of these...
I have requested Mr. Milligan, the bookseller to forward to you a copy of a work which I have lately published, & of which I beg leave to ask your acceptance. With sentiments of profound respect, I am Sir, your obedt. Servt. RC ( DLC ). Docketed by JM. [George Tucker], Essays on Various Subjects of Taste, Morals, and National Policy (Georgetown, D.C., 1822; Shoemaker 10492). George Tucker...
Having some time ago obtained your permission to inscribe my life of Mr. Jefferson to you, I herewith send you a copy of the form in which I shall execute my purpose, if no part of it is deemed objectionable by you. The printing of the 1st. vol. proceeds so slowly, in consequence of the loss of time in transmitting the proof sheets between this place & Philadelphia, it will be 3 or 4 weeks now...
Professor Palfrey of Harvard College being desirous of paying his respects to you on his return to Boston from Louisiana, I take great pleasure in introducing him to your personal acquaintance—His character is no doubt already well known to you. I beg leave to present my respects to Mrs. Madison & to subscribe myself your respectful & obed. Servt. RC (DLC) .
If you have found time to look over the manuscript with which I ventured to trouble you in July, the return of Dr. Dunglison’s carriage offers a good opportunity of sending it to this place. If you would rather keep it longer, it is not important that I should receive it immediately. I have heard with great pleasure that your health has still further improved, and I propose, at the end of the...
