1From James Madison to John Graham, [ca. 21 August 1810] (Madison Papers)
Mr. Gelston declines the service, & Mr. Joel Roberts Poinsett, now in N. York will undertake it; but, to guard agst. contingencies, the documents may leave a blank for the name, to be filled by Mr. Gallatin, to whom they may be inclosed. The alterations wished in the new form are noted. The blanks for Peru & Chili are to be filled with the ports of consequence, nearest the seats of Govt. If...

3From James Madison to John Graham, 17 October 1803 (Madison Papers)
Your letter of May 10 was received during the absence of the President as well as myself from the seat of Government; and since our return the preparations for the meeting of Congress, have prevented an earlier acknowledgment of it. In communicating to you the Presidents acceptance of your resignation, I have the pleasure to inform you, that you hold the same place in his favorable opinion, as...
4From James Madison to John Graham, [ca. 14 January 1817] (Madison Papers)
If the ports blockaded be not within the possessions of the B. E. I. Company, a representation on the subject to the B. Govt. will be proper thro’ Mr. Adams, or Mr. Bagot. RC ( DNA : RG 59, ML ).

5From James Madison to John Graham, 2 September 1809 (Madison Papers)
I now return you the Copy of Clarke agst. Wilkinson, with my thanks for your attention in forwarding it. I have not had time to do more than to turn over a few casual pages; but having just recd. another Copy, it is unnecessary to detain that belonging to the office. I return also the letters recd. by yesterday’s mail. Would it not be proper to let Mr. Rodney have the contents of that from...
6From James Madison to John Graham, 24 August 1810 (Madison Papers)
Your favor of the 20th. has come duly to hand. I well recollect the rect. of the paper you were searching for, and can not but think that it is somewhere in the office. It would seem, that Barnet either had not recd. the order of Skipwith to deliver the Books, or had disobeyed it. The retention of them is so palpably improper, that it justifies the suspicions entertained of some improper view...
7From James Madison to John Graham, 11 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
I return the letter of Mr. Poinsett with the Spanish documents inclosed in it. They coincide with other disclosures of the policy of G. B. at a certain period at least, in favor of Spain, and agst. the U. S. I add to these inclosures two letters from Buennos Ayr⟨es⟩ of which the Mr. Thomson named by you was the bearer. Your communication of them to Mr. Monroe, will enable him to hold the usual...
8From James Madison to John Graham, 25 July 1810 (Madison Papers)
The writer of the inclosed letter, sent ⟨me⟩ a long time ago, a most voluminous manuscript in French on the subject of F. & English grammer, with a wish that I might approve & patronize its publication. Having neither time nor competency to decide on the merits of the work, it was examined by a Critical judge on such subjects; who discouraged the experiment of printing it, tho’ he did justice...
9From James Madison to John Graham, 10 August 1810 (Madison Papers)
I have just recd. your favor of the 8th. with the copy of Mr. P.’s letter of June 13th. The same mail brings me a letter from Mr. Erving, in which he says he should be in Washington in a few days. Having not time to write to him, be so good as to tell him, that if it should be within the scope of his arrangements, not to be stationary, I shall be happy to find his movements take this...
