To Elijah Fletcher and Richard H. Toler

Montpr. octr. 14. 1827.

Sir

I ask the favor of you to make the following correction, omitted to be made in the paper sent you a few days ago,1 viz.

Erase the words, “limit the power of Congress over trade, to regulations having revenue alone for their object”

and insert: “exclude from the power of Congress over commerce, regulations having for their object, the protection and encouragement of domestic manufactures.” With respect

J.M.

Draft (DLC).
