661James Madison to David Malin and Charles B. Sedgwick, 19 November 1832 (Madison Papers)
I have just recd. your letter of the 5th. Inst: informing me that I have been elected an honorary member of the Phi Gamma Alpha Society of Hamilton College. The regard which all ought to cherish for the laudable objects of the Society & the respect due to the names composing it, give to the honor conferred on me a value of which I am very sensible, & I beg you to communicate to the Society the...
662James Madison to Nicholas P. Trist, 19 November 1832 (Madison Papers)
I return the little Volume on Cholera passed to me thro’ Docr. Dunglison. It attracts respect & confidence by the course of investigation pursued by the authors, & by the modesty with which results are presented. I will return by another mail Lee’s Vial of wrath or rather of rage. It ought to have been done long ago, & I owe an apology for the omission. It was some time before I could learn...
663James Madison to Robley Dunglison, 10 November 1832 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. yours of the 8th. with the little volume on Cholera forwarded at the request of Mr. Trist, which will be passed on to him as soon I have looked a little into it. I have recd. from Philada. the 2d. Vol. of your Physiology, & make now my acknowledgment for both. I wish I was more in a condition to profit of their contents. I have not been able as yet to do more than glance at them....
664James Madison to Benjamin Romaine, 8 November 1832 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. the 2 copies of your Pamphlet on State Sovereignity &c. The enfeebled state to which I am reduced by a tedious illness, has abridged my reading to its minimum & my fingers stiffened by Rheumatism abhor the pen. I have notwithstanding gone thro’ the Pamphlet, and drop a line to thank you for it. I have found in the publication much that is very impressive, & very apropos to the...
665Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 8 November 1832 (Madison Papers)
Mr Trist requested me to forward to you the accompanying Treatise on Cholera by the delegates, appointed by the French Government to examine into the Disease in Russia & Germany: and he at the same time begged me to ask you to be good enough to forward it to him after you have perused it. It is one of the most unpretending and satisfactory accounts of this Pest which I have seen. If the second...

In my late letter on the subject of the pork I intended, but omitted to ask the favor of you to let me know whether good clover seed could be had in your quarter and at what price.

670James Madison to Joel R. Poinsett, 16 October 1832 (Madison Papers)
I have received your favour of the 24th. ultimo—and thank you for the pamphlets accompanying it, which are from very able pens; and I have just had an opportunity of reading your speech on the 5th. inst. It is a powerful appeal to considerations, which can not fail to sink deep into every mind not shut against reflection by the violence of party feelings. I wish for so opportune an appeal all...
