To James Monroe
Montpellier Sepr. 20. 1826
Dear Sir
Inferring from the silence of the Newspapers, since they announced your appointment as a visitor of the University, that your answer did not require a replacing one, I take for granted that you will be with your colleagues at the legal place & period. Allow me to count on your being thus far on your way in time for us to proceed hence together: I propose to set out on saturday after next: and hope you will be able to take a few days of previous rest with us. Health & all other blessings
James Madison
