8453James Madison to Robley Dunglison, 6 March 1829 (Madison Papers)
On the rect. of yours of the 26. I had copies of the statement inclosed in it & forwarded one for the Natl. Intelligencer & another for the Enquirer. So exact and authentic a publication on the subject of the Endemic at the University must have a seasonable controul on false or exaggerated accounts from whatever sources proceding. My letter of the Feby. 23. answerd your preceding one. I have...
8454From James Madison to Edmund Pendleton, 2 April 1782 (Madison Papers)
RC ( LC : Madison Papers). That Pendleton was the addressee is made clear by his letter of 15 April to JM ( q.v. ). The only event with which the period since my last has enabled me to repay your favor of the 25th. Ulto. is the arrival of four Deputies from Vermt. with a plenipotentiary commission to accede to the confederacy. The business is referred to a Committee who are sufficiently...

8458From James Madison to James Monroe, 14 June 1816 (Madison Papers)
Altho the inclosed letter is anonymous, the idea it suggests, of requiring an admission of our Cotton in a half man⟨u⟩factured State at least by nations whose luxuries fully manufa⟨c⟩tured, are admitted into the U.S. is not unworthy of attention. The general idea I believe has not escaped, in the instructions to Mr. Gallatin & Mr. Pinkney. But it may be well to enforce it and particularly in...
8459To George Washington from James Madison, 23 June 1788 (Washington Papers)
We got through the constitution by paragraphs today. Tomorrow some proposition for closing the business will be made. On our side a ratification involving a few declaratory truths not affecting its validity will be tendered. The opposition will urge previous amendments. Their conversation to day seemed to betray despair. Col. Mason in particular talked in a style which no other sentiment could...
