3992To James Madison from John O. Lay, 9 July 1825 (Madison Papers)
I enclosed you on the 5th. inst. a Certificate for $548.11 deposited to your credit. The 2 Hhds. No. 9 & 10 are at SeaBrooks Ware House and will be opened in course of the ensuing week. Having no Receipt for them I was under the impression they had not come in when I sold the others, but on reference to Mr. Eddins Letters I find he mentions them. Could I have anticipated the present state of...
3993From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 9 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I was glad to recieve your letter of yesterday, altho’ I assure you it was not necessary to counteract any misrepresentations to your prejudice. having always abstained from all intermedling or enquiry into your affairs no one could have a motive for saying any thing about them to me. I thought indeed I sometimes my self observed symptoms of your being under difficulties, which I supposed had...
3994From Thomas Jefferson to Robley Dunglison, 8 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I find I had been too sanguine in believing that my complaint was wearing off. the symptoms within 2. or 3. days past have returned with force. I must again ask your assistance and in the express hope that it will be kindly yielded on the condn in my last letter that the same remunern will be taken as in other cases. ViU .
3995To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 8 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I feel a strong conviction that it is necessary I should make this endeavour to counteract the misrepresentations made to you every opportunity of my words and actions, of my feelings towards others and theirs for me; with respect to all of which the truth has but seldom reached you since the begining of the year 1815. From that period the 26 th year of the close alliance between us we have...
3996From James Madison to John H. Smith, 7 July 1825 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. yours of June 27th with a copy of Proposals, for publishing a Weekly agricultural paper at Richd. The object you have in view is so laudable, that I can not refuse to be a subscriber. It is so much my wish however to reduce rather than multiply engagements of that sort, which require attentions becoming every day more & more inconvenient, that you must excuse me for desiring it to...
3997From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel Raymond, 7 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 3 d was recieved yesterday. in our University the science of Political economy is ascribed to the school of law and civil polity. the chair of that school is not yet filled; and as the choice of their text books is left to the several professors, it follows that no such choice can have been made, nor the least foundation given for naming any particular book. be pleased to...
3998To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Sewall, 7 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Though not Known to you except by a letter from D r Mitchill of N. York which I enclosed to you five or six years since & to which I received a friendly answer, I take the liberty of asking your attention for a few moments to a Subject with which I am at present occupied. In an introductory lecture which I recently delivered at the opening of the Medical School in this city, I attempted to...
3999To Thomas Jefferson from John Henry Sherburne, 7 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I have had the honor duly to receive your much esteemed favor of the 2 d inst. , which has caused me some painful feelings, but I pray you to accept my most grateful acknowledgements for the information which you have been pleased to give me. I will state to you as briefly as possible in what manner I came by the painting herewith enclosed, Commodore Dale of Philadelphia (who was with Com:...
4000From James Madison to Elisha Callender, 6 July 1825 (Madison Papers)
The last of yr. letters dated June 12. came to hand but a few days ago. You are very kind in taking so indulgent a view of my neglect, to answer preceding ones; for which I could offer several excuses which imply no want of due respect for the friendliness of your communications. In truth I have advanced to a period of life which obliges me to practice much economy in the use of the pen, and...
4001From James Madison to Rufus King, 6 July 1825 (Madison Papers)
Mr. Morton of my neighbourhood will pass through London on a trip to Scotland with an object which he will explain to you. The esteem in which he is held by those best acquainted with him, induces me to introduce him to an opportunity of paying his respects to you, and of asking whatever friendly suggestions may be useful to him. He is accompanied by Capt: Glassel of the army of the U. States,...
4002To Thomas Jefferson from Edward Everett, 6 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the honor duly to receive Your interesting letter, in further illustration of Your views, As expressed in that to Major Cartwright.

The form of the Earth having been ascertained by various experiments in Europe and South America, to be that of an Oblate Spheroid; and it being now admitted, that the ratio of the equatorial diameter to the polar axis is as 320 to 319, the measure of a degree in any latitude, according to that ratio, claims our attention; and the following calculations connected with this subject, are...
4005From Thomas Jefferson to E. Copeland, Jr., 5 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved on the 6 th of June a letter from Mess rs Dodge and Oxnard with an invoice of wines amounting to 332. francs, and the wines themselves came to hand on the 22 d presuming you would recieve notice of it, I have deferred making the remittance expecting you would inform me of the sum in Dollars which would repay that including exchange, and also of a small deficit in my remittance of...
4006From Thomas Jefferson to Robley Dunglison, 4 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Your kind lre of the 2 d seems to forbid all further controversy on the subject of compensation for your late trouble. in asking your attentions so freely I had no doubt of permission to remunerate them, and should have been much happier in that permission. the remembrance of them, however long gratefully, is but a meagre equivalent. against the last sentence of your letter however I must...
4007To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 4 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I sent you by the last mail an herb, which, as had been represented to me by Mr Buckner, had been useful to M r B. Hooe, in the complaint of the strangary, with Mr Buckners letter on the subject, which I hope you have receivd. Doctor Wallace, happening to be here, when the packet & explanatory letter were despatched, I shewd them to him, & found that he was well acquainted with the herb & its...
4008To Thomas Jefferson from Bernard Peyton, 4 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 2 d has been rec d covering blank notes for the renewal of yours at the Banks which shall be attended to. The dft: you advise of having drawn shall be paid when presented. I was in hopes you had quite recovered your health before this, hearing you had been at the University since your first attack. I hope Judge Dade has accepted the Professorship of Law in the University, if it...
4009To Thomas Jefferson from Benjamin Waterhouse, 4 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I seize the first leisure time since my return (for I tarried more than a week in New York with my Daughter) to express to you my thanks for your polite attention when on your pleasant mountain. It enlarged my view of things in more senses than one. It has also gratified an old Pilgrim in the fulfilment of his vow. A thousand questions are asked concerning you, and your noble offspring in your...
4010To Thomas Jefferson from Daniel Raymond, 3 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
It was stated in one of our Baltimore Papers a few weeks since, that my work on Political Economy had been adopted in the University of Virginia as the standard work on that subject. In the last Richmond Enquirer that statement is contradicted. I find on enquiry that the statement was made upon the Authority of M r Hillyard of Boston who I am told is the contractor to furnish the University...
4011From John Quincy Adams to Thomas Boylston Adams, 2 July 1825 (Adams Papers)
In compliance with your letters of 2d and 23d ulto. I have executed a deed of my share of Land in Salem Vermont, which as soon as I can get it acknowledged, I will forward to Mr Baxter at Brownington I am not certain whether you intended to advise that I should buy out the rights of the heirs of Norton Quincy to the Wood Lot which you mention. If you do I shall readily consent to the purchase;...

The inclosed letter to mr King covers a bill of exche. for 1350. £ sterl. for the purchase of an Apparatus for our University, and the two accompanying letters are from two of our Professors on the same subject, wherefore I have placed them under my cover. the importance of these papers occasion me to take the liberty of assuring their safe passage to N.Y. under your cover and of requesting...

4015From Thomas Jefferson to Robley Dunglison, 2 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I find myself now as well as I have been for several months, or as I probably shall be for months to come. the remains of my complaint will wear off slowly. all this is from your kind attentions, to which you have still to add that of informing me what compensation I shall make you; in this I pray you to do justice to yourself as it will place me at ease with myself and be the greatest favor...
4016To Thomas Jefferson from Robley Dunglison, 2 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I know not how to express the gratification which I feel, at the subsidence of your troublesome affection; nor the fervor with which I hope the favorable prognostication in which you have indulged may be verified. With respect to the subject of compensation for any trifling attentions which I may have been able to pay you—I beg that I may be allowed to fix my own terms, and to declare most...
4017To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 2 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Having lately rec d an intimation that an herb which I now send you, would be useful to you. I hasten to do it by the present mail. The parties are highly respectable, I mean Mr Hooe on whom it has operated, & Mr Buckner who writes the letter which I send you. I will write you again by the next mail. I have no doubt of the extr y efficacy of the remedy—in haste yours MHi .
4018From Thomas Jefferson to John Henry Sherburne, 2 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of June 29. was recieved yesterday. the fac-simile of the hand writing of J. P. Jones is good; but as to the engraving of his figure, I must in truth and candor say, it does not recall one single feature of his face to my perfect recollection of him. Houdon’s bust of him is an excellent likeness. why have they not taken a side-face of him from that? such an one would be perfect. and...
4019From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 1 July 1825 (Madison Papers)
Mr. Fowler of Allen’s Lot. & Exc: office holds a note of mine for $500 payable on the 10th. instant. From his letter to me on the subject I infer that the enclosed Check will be a payment not inconvenient to him; and I prefer it to the risk & trouble of remitting bank notes by the Mail. On substituting the check for the promisory note, be so good as to send me the latter in a cancelled State....

I have recd. my dear Sir, your very friendly letter of the 3d. instant.
