From James Madison to John Tayloe Lomax, 23 March 1827

To John Tayloe Lomax

Mar. 23. [18]27

Dr. Sir

I inclose a communication from President Cooper of the S. Carolina College. I have apprized him of the enactment in our University Code, as applicable to the occurence he describes, and to which the Faculty wd. doubtless conform, with a just sense of the Obligation every where to discountenance so pernicious an example. With great esteem
