Mr. Willis has, I regret to say, incurred our most severe punishment. He was intoxicated on the lawn, & using profane & disturbing language when Professor Harrison reproved him. For this reproof he next morning called upon the Professor to apologize, which was refused, when he assaulted him. The Faculty on the following day expelled him. The Assistant Proctor has heard that it was probable...

When I had the pleasure of visiting Montpellier last year, I promised Mr. Payne to send him some vaccine matter so soon as I could obtain any: the inclosed is the first I have been able to recommend: you will oblige me by placing it in his hands. The only plan to be adopted in using it is merely to moisten it with cold water & to cover the point of the lancet well with the solution. Mrs....

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...

It is my intention to quit this place, to which I shall ever be attached by many tender associations, on the 14th Inst., and I hope to be able to take leave of Mrs. Madison and yourself on that day. Our intention is to proceed to Dr. Terrill’s the same evening, so that our visit can be but short.

It is my earnest desire to pay my respects to you, and Dr. Patterson & Miss Leiper will probably accompany me. We shall be at Montpellier on Tuesday the 2d....
659Robley Dunglison to James Madison, 31 July 1834 (Madison Papers)
I am glad to learn from your letter of the 26th. Inst. that your troublesome complaint is, at the least, mitigated I do not think it would be advisable, in any other manner, than by the Sulphur Water, to attempt to remove the itching, as I should be afraid, that by any sudden repercussion of the irritation it might be transferred to organs of greater consequence. The internal use of the...
660To James Madison from Robley Dunglison, 22 June 1826 (Madison Papers)

She is now, however, so much recovered that we are anxious, if perfectly convenient to you, to pay our visit in the Course of a week or...
