511James Madison to Henry Clay, June 1833 (Madison Papers)
Your letter of May 28th. was duly received. In it you ask my opinion on the retention of the land bill by the President. It is obvious that the Constitution meant to allow the President an adequate time to consider the bills &co. presented to him, and to make his objections to them; and on the other hand that Congress should have time to consider and overrule the objections. A disregard on...
512James Madison to R. H. C. Taylor, June 1833 (Madison Papers)
Since my answer to your two letters, I have heard nothing from Mr. Clarke, on the subject of them from which I infer as I do from other circumstances, that he can give no aid to the search for evidence of the military services of your two Uncles. I now learn that Col Robt. Taylor Junr. on the advice of his father with whom I had communicated on the subject, has put what papers and information...

Auditor has authorised the...
514James Madison to Edmund H. Taylor, 26 June 1833 (Madison Papers)
I have received your letter of the 5th inst: It would have given me much pleasure to have aided you in your search for information relative to the military services of your two Uncles; but neither my personal recollections, nor acquired knowledge, put it in my power to do so. In consequence of a like application from Mr. R. H. C. Taylor, I had endeavored in vain to trace thro’ the oldest...

516James Madison to Nicholas P. Trist, 23 June 1833 (Madison Papers)
You are aware of the loss the University is sustaining by the resignation of Doctr Dunglison, and must be equally so, of the difficulty of filling the vacancy. There is no prospect of doing it from the Faculty of Virga. I hope you will have turned your thoughts to the subject, and I must ask the favor of you to avail yourself of the opportunities you have, especially if you should visit...
517James Madison to Benjamin Waterhouse, 21 June 1833 (Madison Papers)
Your letter of the 30th. Ult was duly recd. with the little volume to which it refers. The facts contained in this, are an acceptable appendix to the stock of information on a subject which has awakened much curiosity. I the less wonder at the relish shewn for such a treat as you have provided, considering the plums & the sauce you have added to the pudding. Altho’ the state of my eyes permit...
