Scope and Contents:

Correspondence on topics including Waterhouse's lectures on the dangers of intemperance and tobacco use, and his published works on botany and Junius. Madison also discusses his proposal for a professorship of agriculture at the University of Virginia and includes a printed circular he published on the matter, as well as a circular containing resolutions establishing the professorship. The later correspondence was dictated to a third party, as Madison's rheumatism made writing difficult.
