From James Madison to Nelly Conway Madison, 25 February 1816
To Nelly Conway Madison
Feby 25. 1816
My dear Mother
Sister Rose informs me that you wish a remittance of $400. I inclose a check in favor of Capt. Eddins1 who will save you all trouble by indorsing and negociating it. I presume he will be able to convert it into cash readily on the usual terms.
Dolly is again pretty well. She has been several times latterly & for some continuance, much otherwise, more than once seriously sick. We learn with great pleasure that your health has been but little affected throughout the winter, and hope this will find it remaining good. Yr. affe. son
