65From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 25 February 1808 (Madison Papers)
I think the grounds of a message communicating Pinkney’s & Armstrong’s letters, should be those of aiding Congs. in appreciating our foreign relations, and in judging of the influence these ought to have on their measures of precaution.
