2From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 25 July 1806 (Madison Papers)
The inclosed letter from the Mayor of N. York shews that coercion alone will rid us of the Tunisians in revolt agst. Melimelli. I have written to the Mayor that it is desireable that he should have them sent on to Boston, by any means which he may be able to apply. I believe it will be found necessary to take the course thought of before your departure for conveying the presents &c. to Tunis;...
3From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 25 July 1806 (Madison Papers)
I have thought it not amiss to add to the letter written yesterday to the Mayor of N. York the suggestions of which a copy is inclosed. In the liberty of giving your sanction to the use of legal force, I was governed by my recollection that you considered nothing wanted to authorize force here in sending the Tunisians on board the Franklin but the requisition of the Ambassador which was...
4To James Madison from James Monroe and William Pinkney, 25 July 1806 (Madison Papers)
You will have been surprised at not hearing from us sooner on the business confided to us under the commission with which we are honored by the President. The delay proceeded from a desire to give you some satisfactory information of our progress in it, which it was not in our power to do. It happen’d unfortunately just about the time of mr. Pinkney’s arrival on the 24th. ulto., that mr Fox...

§ From Louis-Marie Turreau. 25 July 1806, Baltimore.
