Today is the day that James Madison and Dolley Payne Todd got married in 1794:) It is also the day that in 1857, Madison's obelisk was placed above his grave. But you probably already knew that:)
I fly to Montpelier this evening!!! Restoration Celebration!!!!
God Bless:)
Most Sincerely, Yr. Humble Srvt. and Friend,
