RC (DLC).

1Dolley Madison had written to James Taylor on 10 Nov. 1810 (KyHi), conveying to him family news, including her fears that JM’s nephew, Alfred Madison, was not likely to recover his health. On public matters she reported that the Hornet had just returned from France and “brings us nothing contradictory of the affecti[o]nate intentions of Napolian.” The president she described as engaged in “intense study” and observed from “his constant devotion to the Cabinet, that affair’s are troublesome & difficult. You see the English are stuborn yet, but we anticipate their yealding, before long—in short, the Proclamation [of 2 Nov.] gives you the state of things now. Genl. Armstrong is hourly expected—no successor yet decided on.”
