From James Madison to James Monroe, 20 September 1826
To James Monroe
Montpellier Sepr. 20. 1826
Dear Sir
Inferring from the silence of the Newspapers, since they announced your appointment as a visitor of the University, that your answer did not require a replacing one, I take for granted that you will be with your colleagues at the legal place & period. Allow me to count on your being thus far on your way in time for us to proceed hence together: I propose to set out on saturday after next: and hope you will be able to take a few days of previous rest with us. Health & all other blessings
James Madison
