To James Madison from John Taylor, 15 November 1802 (Abstract)

§ From John Taylor1

15 November 1802, Caroline, Virginia. Introduces his neighbor Landon Carter of Cleve,2 who comes to Washington “with an invention, which, if it is as successful in practice, as it promises in theory to be, will serve still farther to exalt the American character.” “Altho’ you may have no particular acquaintance with him, his reputation must undoubtedly have reached you.”
