I have just recd. yours of the 31st. Ult. inclosing letters recommending Mr. Tracie, and hasten to correct an error you have fallen into which affects the University as well as yourself. It is on the tenth not the 15th. of July that the Visitors are to meet. I address this to N. York where you will probably have arrived. It gives us great pleasure to find that Mrs. Monroe encounters the...

763James Madison to James Monroe, 11 August 1828 (Madison Papers)
On the rect. of yours of the 5th. I wrote immediately to Mr. Trist, to forward you a copy of the Resolution you wish. Not having yet recd. the circular transcript of the Proceedings of the Session, I could not furnish one myself. I have desired Mr. Trist also to authenticate to you the day for the next meeting of the Visitors; for which my recollection assigns, the first day of October. You...

Yours of the 24th. just recd. has relieved us from the great anxiety we were suffering from the rumours of your illness. We had heard of the accident from your horse, but had also of your recovery from it. Mr. Giles makes use of the Hudibrastic gun, which does most harm by its recoil, it is said; with this difference indeed, that his cartridges being blank, the only possible effect, in the...
765James Madison to James Monroe, 1 May 1829 (Madison Papers)
I have just recd. yours of April 28. I think as you do, that it will be best for us to decline attending the election in this Month, even in our own Counties; and I shall do so, unless it should appear that such a course will be particularly offensive. Of this there is not the least probability. On the contrary the public indications are, that elections on this extraordinary occasion ought to...

768James Madison to James Monroe, 15 September 1829 (Madison Papers)
I recd. yours of the 10th. with a full sense of your kindness in taking so much interest in my health. Subsequent to your call on me, I had a return of fever which reduced me to a state of greater weakness than I had before experienced. For several weeks passed, have been on the recovery in strength as well as health; and if no relapse takes place, I may be able to give my attendance at...
769James Madison to James Monroe, 21 January 1830 (Madison Papers)
The Nat. Intelligr. of the 19th. gave us the pleasure of finding that you had arrived at Washington in safety, and advancing in convalescence. We left Richd. full of anxiety, produced by the reported effect of what happened to the Steamboat, on your feeble condition I hope this will find you at Oakhill with continued improvement in yr. health and happy in that of Mrs. Monroe & all around you,...
770James Madison to James Monroe, 18 May 1830 (Madison Papers)
I have just recd. yours of the 13th. We had been led to hope that your health was better established than you represent it. As it is progressive and your Constitution, tho’ like mine the worse for wear, has remains of good stamina, I will not despair of the pleasure of seeing you in July, and making a visit together to the University. Should prudence forbid such a journey, I think you ought...
