992James Madison to Albert Gallatin, 18 March 1831 (Madison Papers)
I inclose an extract of a letter from Mr. John Randolph on the subject of a Mr. Richardson, and a letter from the latter. You will observe the request of Mr. Randolph that the object of Mr. Richardson might be eventually communicated for the University at N. York.

993Frederick Beasley to James Madison, 17 March 1831 (Madison Papers)
Some years ago, I had the pleasure to send you my "search of truth upon the science of the human mind", & afterwards some smaller tracts, with wh you were kind enough to express your satisfaction, as far as your time allowed you to peruse them. I afterwards, on my way to the Springs in your State, had the satisfaction of a few moments conversation with you in your own house. I mention these...
994James Madison to Richard Rush, 15 March 1831 (Madison Papers)
I thank you, my dear Sir, for the Gazette kindly put under cover to me. It derives particular interest from the Columns subscribed "Temple." I had seen the preceding publication, bearing that fictitious name, with a ready inference of the real one. The general character of the Whig party in England is as eloquently painted as the position & perplexity of its leaders now in power, are...

I recd. in due time the copy of your Report on a State’s Bank: for which I offer my acknowledgments, with the apology for the delay furnished by the unsettled State of my health.

997Lewis Condict to James Madison, 15 March 1831 (Madison Papers)
By the advice of some friends in Washington, the enclosed papers were sent to Mr. Venable of the Va. Legislature at Richmond, before I left the District. I expected Mr. V. would, after perusal, enclose the subscription to you, in the letter to your address, which was left unsealed for the purpose. They were however, returned to me by yesterday’s mail, in a letter from Mr. V. expressing his...
