Arthur S. Brockenbrough to James Madison, 23 September 1828
University of Va Sept 23. 1828
Dear Sir,
At the approaching meeting of the Visitors may I ask the favor of you & Mrs Madison to make my house your home. We have one comfortable lodging room and nothing will give Mrs Brockenbrough & myself more pleasure than to make you and Mrs Madison comfortable whilst you are here—If from indisposition or any other cause, we should be deprived of the pleasure of your company, be pleased to tender my respects to Col: Monroe (who will in all probability call on you) and assure him that the lodging room is equally at his service and that we shall be much gratified if he will favor us with his company—with great respect I am Dr Sir your Obt Sert
