Later in her life, Dolley remained friends with the Nourse family. One can infer acquaintance, and speculate that Dolley may have bustled out in her carriage to visit the Nourse household, inasmuch as she was an indefatigable social caller. Later, President Madison made Charles Nourse the conveyor of dispatches to Great Britain in 1808. In Dumbarton House’s Nourse family letter collection are invitations from President Jefferson, for whom Dolley often served as hostess while James was Secretary of State. ![]()
