I had the pleasure to receive yours of the 20th. by yesday’s mail. The letter from the governor, communicating our reappointment as Visitors of the University, and requiring a meeting of the board on the first Monday in next month, I had receiv’d, as I had one, from Mr Cabell, apprizing me, that it was a mere measure of form, in complyance with the law, & there would be no necessity for the...
1952James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, 27 March 1828 (Madison Papers)
I owe & offer you many thanks for your favour, in procuring & forwarding the reprinted portion of the Legislative Journals. They were duly recd. thro’ that of General Dade. Unluckily the volume does not reach the dates I wished to see, being limited to the year 1780. I have requested Col. Peyton to procure the Journals for 1784-5-6-7: if they should be merely struck off, and can be had from...
1953James Madison to Nicholas P. Trist, 27 March 1828 (Madison Papers)
I am sorry to take up my pen, when the only object is to impose a tax on yours. Be so good as to let me have, from the University papers left by Mr. Jefferson, a copy of the contract made by Mr. Gilmer, with the Professors, engaged in England. Affectionate salutations. RC ( DLC : Nicholas P. Trist Papers).
1954Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 25 March 1828 (Madison Papers)
I duly received your letter of the 18th. Inst. with the Morning Chronicles for which you will be pleased to accept our united Thanks. It was my duty to have forwarded you the accompanying letter at the commencement of the Session. I was not clearly, however, aware of my Duty and now, that I have been informed of it, hasten to supply the defect. You will be kind enough to do with it as you...
1955James Madison to Chapman Johnson, 24 March 1828 (Madison Papers)
Previous to the receipt of yours of the 8th. inst: I had recd. a letter from Mr. Lawrence our Chargè d’Affaires in London, from which it appeared that the enquiries instituted by Mr. Gallatin for a Professor of Nat: Philos:, were continued by him, but without such an assurance of success as I conceived ought to arrest the pursuit of a satisfactory appointment here; against which it was...
1956Jared Sparks to James Madison, 23 March 1828 (Madison Papers)
I have had the pleasure of receiving your favor of the 13th inst, with a letter enclosed for Genl. Lafayette. It is uncertain whether I shall proceed directly to France after my arrival in England, or whether I shall first examine the papers in London. In this latter case I will take care that Genl. Lafayette’s letter shall be forwarded under cover to our minister at Paris, in such a manner as...
1957James Madison to John Quincy Adams, 22 March 1828 (Madison Papers)
Your favour of the 29th. Ult: accompanying the little packet for Mrs. Madison from Mr. Hughes, was duly recd., and she wishes you to be assured of her particular sensibility to your polite attention. The article in question did not, according to any suggestions of her memory, merit the friendly solicitude felt by Mr. Hughes: but the obligations to him are not the less on that account. As you...
1958James Madison to James Monroe, 20 March 1828 (Madison Papers)
Yours of Feby. 23. was not recd. before the last mail tho’ having the Aldie post mark on the day of its date. Whether it was not duly forwarded, or was so long overlooked at the office here is not known. The latter was probably the case. We hope the agreeable information you gave of Mrs. Monroe’s convalescence has been justified by, her entire recovery. I need not now say that I recd. at the...

Mr. Cabell has obligingly procured for me a sight of the 1st. vol. of the Journals of the H. of Delegates just published. But, it does not reach to the Sessions of 1784-5. 1785-6. & 1786-7. for wch. I had occasion If these have been struck off, tho’ not finally put together for publication, and be attainable in that form only, I would ask the favor of you to purchase me a copy if to be had in...
