During the period around volume 3 of the Retirement Series, James
Madison remained largely at Montpelier, except for occasional
visits to neighbors and attendance at ceremonial dinners and
semiannual meetings of the Board of Visitors of the University of
Virginia. Madison's correspondence in this period was wide-ranging
and included replies to requests for advice from President James
Monroe. His exchange of letters with Thomas Jefferson dealt
primarily with the construction and financing of the university and
the search for professors. In addition to responding to the host of
individuals who sent him books and pamphlets and requested letters
of introduction and recommendation to political office, Madison
also engaged with such eminent men as Richard Rush, James Barbour,
Henry Clay, Mathew Carey, Edward Livingston, and George Hay. In
these letters he offers his opinion on constitutional issues,
reiterates his support for strict separation between church and
state, and expresses his views on the tariff, political parties,
the common law, and public education. Finally, his private letters
deal with daily life at Montpelier and the management of the
plantation. Access to people, places, and events is facilitated by
detailed annotation and a comprehensive index.
