1James Madison to John Andrew Graham, 15 August 1828 (Madison Papers)
I have duly recd. the copy of your Memoirs of J. H. Tooke, with which you have been pleased to favor me. Having never entered particularly into the enquiries concerning the authorship of the letters of Junius, I am among those least competent to judge between the Candidates for that celebrity. If you have not established the title of Tooke, you have at least set aside that of some others, and...
2From 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 ). Undated; conjectural date assigned based on John Graham to JM , ca. 13 Jan. 1817 , at the bottom of which JM wrote this reply.
3From James Madison to John Graham, 30 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
The Spanish Documents inclosed; with the letter from McCall, were sent to me by Mr. Dallas: They are curious and interesting. Mr. Dallas is apprized that they would be communicated to the Dept. of State. As he is or soon will be in Washington, you will be able to know from him whether he chuses that they shd. remain there. If his choice be to repossess them you will return them, taking copies...
4From 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...
5From James Madison to John Graham, 6 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
I have just recd. yours of the 3d. and return without delay the several letters inclosed in it. The apprehensions of Mr. Shaler, are instigated at least, by the recent occurrence, if true, at Oran, and its probable effect on the relations of G.B. & Algiers. Mr. Adams’s idea of making his Country, the sole Champion of Xndum against the Barbarians, is very heroic; but is not in perfect harmony...
6From James Madison to John Graham, 5 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
I return the letter from Mr. Bagot. It manifests a good disposition on his part, and on that of the Commander in cheif in Canada. But it appears by communications to the War Dept. from one of our own sources, that the hostile purposes of the Indians in question, are the effect, of instigations from British Traders. I have desired Mr. G. Graham to lay these communications before the Dept of...
7From James Madison to John Graham, [ca. 1 August 1816] (Madison Papers)
I return the papers sent with yours of the 29th: except the letter from E. Lewis, which goes to the Treasy. Dept. If Mr. B. has no more power than to receive proposals, I sd. have supposed his object in an interview wd. have been simply to ask for them, with an assurance of the General disposition of his Govts. to receive them favorably, and that the uncertainty or misconception occasioned by...

¶ To John Graham. Letter not found. 13 May 1815. Described in Stephen Pleasonton to JM , 18 May 1815 , as requesting Graham’s assistance with “business mostly private,” including a payment to “Genl Taylor” (probably James Taylor of Kentucky).
9From James Madison to John Graham, 28 August 1813 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. your favor of the 26th. I can not recollect off-hand, very much about the letter from Turreau to R. Smith, of which a Translation is printed in Georgetow⟨n⟩. My general impression is that it was considered at the time as highly exceptionable in several passages; that it was noticed that T. by a ruse diplomatique, which distinguished between the existing & preceding...
