43From 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...
44To James Madison from John Graham, 28 November 1806 (Madison Papers)
I hope you recieved the Letter I did myself the Honor to write you from Marietta on the 22d. Inst. as it contained a statement of some facts which I consider of At this Place they seem to know nothing of the Plans of Colo Burr and I am rather induced to think that he has not yet for him here. If he has they have made very little progress fo r all is quiet. The Reports indeed from Kentucky...
45To James Madison from John Graham, 29 July 1816 (Madison Papers)
Mr Monroe has, I presume, informed you that he had returned into the Country. He was not well when he was here, and as there was little probability of his being able to do any thing immediately with Mr Bagot either in relation to the Fisheries or the Naval armaments on the Lakes he thought it unnecessary to remain. He had several conversations with Mr Bagot on the latter subject and thought at...
46To James Madison from John Graham, 26 August 1813 (Madison Papers)
The inclosed Paper was put into my hands yesterday by a Friend who called my attention to the Letter from Genl Turreau which it contains. There were parts of this Letter which did not appear new to me. I have examined our files and do not find such a Letter upon them. I have therefore supposed that this is probably a translation of the Letter from Genl Turreau which was returned to him on...

Among the Papers which were recieved from you today is a Letter from Colo Johnson recommending F-C Sharp as Secretary of the Illinois Territory, on which you have put a memo asking whether the Office is vacant.

48To James Madison from John Graham, 14 August 1811 (Madison Papers)
The Letter which you did me the Honor to write to me on the 10th Inst. I received yesterday, together with those which it covered. I have now the pleasure to return Mr. Adams’s (Letter) de cyphered: with the other I can as yet do nothing.

49To James Madison from John Graham, 8 August 1810 (Madison Papers)
Yesterdays Mail brought on the Dispatches from Mr Pinkney which had been entrusted to Mr Erwing. They were forwar[d]ed by the latter from Phia. The inclosed is a Copy of the last and only important Letter from Mr Pinkney. From his other communications it appeared, so well as I can recollect (from the very hasty perusal I gave them, before they were put up for the Bath Mail which closed...

I had the Honor to receive your Letter of the 2d. Inst last Night. The Copies which you directed to be sent to Mr. Erskine & Mr. Gallatin are made out and will be forwarded by the Mail today.

I rather apprehend that the British...
