To John Rutherfoord
May 29. 1827
Dear Sir
Your favor of the 25th. has been duly recd: and partaking as I do in the kind service rendered in the transaction committed to you, I beg you to accept my share of the acknowledgments.
I unite with Mrs. Madison in returning the affectionate expressions from Mrs. Rutherfoo[r]d & yourself; which we shall be happy in repeating at Montpr. whenever you exchange the Atmosphere of Richd. for the boasted one of our Mountains. With cordial salutations
J.M
