41From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 27 July 1792 (Madison Papers)
I recd. yesterday your letters containing the papers inclosed. I recd. at the same time a letter from Mr. Maury of Liverpool in which was the little note which I also inclose. Brown & a Col Edwards are the Senators for Kentucky. The latter sd. to be a good man & not likely to differ from the politics of his colleague. A distant kinsman of Mine Hubbard Taylor is likely to be one of the Reps....

43From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 9 October 1792 (Madison Papers)
Your 3 favors from G. Town, Bladg. & Balte: have come safe to hand. The accident mentioned in the 2d. has caused no small anxiety; which wd. be much greater were it not hoped from your not waiting to repair it, that a safe train had been laid for the purpose, & particularly that the article had been put under seal. The possibility of its falling into base hands at the present crisis cannot be...
44From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 23 October 1792 (Madison Papers)
I got here a few days ago, & shall set out in company with Col: Monroe tomorrow. Parker Giles & Venable are here also on their way to Philada. The information they give of the temper of the Assembly is in all respects favorable. The vacancy produced by R. H. Lee’s resignation is filled with Col: J. Taylor. He had 90 odd votes, A. Lee, 39. & Corbin 33. Great efforts were made for A. L. among...
45From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 24 March 1793 (Madison Papers)
I wrote at Baltimore, but the letter being too late for the mail, I have suppressed it. It contained nothing of consequence. We arrived here to day (2 OC) and shall proceed to Colchester tonight. Our journey has been successful; tho’ laborious for the horses. The roads bad generally from Head of Elk; on the North of Baltimore, and thence to George Town, excessively so. I am just told by Mr. R....

47From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 12 April 1793 (Madison Papers)
Your favor of the 31. Ult: and the preceding one without date have been received. The refusal of Dunlap in the case you mention confirms the idea of a combined influence against the freedom of the Press. If symtoms of a dangerous success in the experiment should shew themselves, it will be necessary before it be too late to convey to the public through the channels that remain open, an...

49From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 8 May 1793 (Madison Papers)
Your last recd. was of the 28 Apl. The rect. of all the preceeding is verified by the uninterrupted dates of the Gazettes inclosed. I anxiously wish that the reception of Genest may testify what I believe to be the real affections of the people. It is the more desireable as a seasonable plum after the bitter pills which it seems must be administered. Having neither the Treaty nor Law of...
50From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 27 May 1793 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. your letter with the unsealed one for Monroe & have forwarded the latter. Your subsequent one, which I calculate to have been written on the 12th. inst: came to hand two days ago. I feel for your situation but you must bear it. Every consideration private as well as public require a further sacrifice of your longings for the repose of Monticello. You must not make your final exit...
