1James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 15 August 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
I am offered the Services of a M r Magee , now living with M r Randolph , as an overseer . I have discountenanced his offer, partly from an ignorance of his character, but particularly from the uncertainty whether M r R. means to part with him. Will you be kind eno’ by a line, merely to say 1 st whether it is decided that he is not to remain where he is, the only condition on which I w

I have rec d your favor of the 15 th . All we know of the step taken by France towards a reconcilation with us, is thro’ the English papers sent by M r Pinkney , who had not himself rec d any information on the subject from Gen l A. nor held any conversation with the B. Ministry
4James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 7 December 1810 (Jefferson Papers)
The letter inclosed came to me as you see it; and tho’ probably meant more for me than you, is forwarded according to its ostensible destination. We have nothing from abroad, more than has been made public. The latest date from Pinkney is the 3 d of Oc r . The arrival of Nov r will have been some test, positive or negative of the views of England : Her Party here seems puzzled more than usual....
5James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 18 March 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I have rec d yours inclosing two letters improperly addressed to you. A sketch in manuscript was brought by yesterday’s Mail from N. York , saying that a vessel just arrived, stated that the Prince Regent had appointed his Cabinet; that Lord Holland was prime Minister ,
6James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 1 April 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I intimated to you the Offence taken by Armstrong at the re-enstatement of Warden . It is not improbable that it will be the ground of an open hostility. This will call into view his present denunciations of W. which are pointed ag st him as an Adventurer & Impostor from the commencement to the end of his career, in comparison with the patronage so long continued to him, and the sentiments...
7James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 19 April 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I have rec d your favor of containing the requested extract from Armstrong’s letter relating to Warden . A. has entangled himself in such gross inconsistencies, that he may perhaps not execute this threat to vindicate his removal of W. ag st my reinstatement of him. This consideration alone will restrain his enmity ag st both of us. You will see the conflict in which he is engaged with Fulton
8James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 3 May 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I have rec d yours of the 24 Ap l and return the letter inclosed in it ; after having made the communication intended for M r Gallatin . Your expostulations with Duane could not be improved; but he gives proofs of a want of candor, as well as of temperance, that will probably repel advice however rational or friendly. The great fulcrum of his attacks on M r Gallatin , is Erskine’s
9James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 7 June 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
I return the letter from you to D. on the subject of M r G. he seems to be incorrigible. If I am not misinformed, his eyes are opening to the conduct & character of M r S, with respect to both of which he has suffered himself to be misled partly by his own passions, partly by those who took advantage of them. You see the new shapes our foreign relations are taking. The occurrence between...
