I take a liberty, for which I must again apologize; in requesting that the enclosed letters may be forwarded with the first dispatches from the Office of State for Paris & Liverpool, renewing to you, at the same time, assurances of my high esteem & cordial respects. FC (DLC) .
I recd. lately thro’ the Dept of State a letter from Mr. Randolph our Envoy to Russia. I ask the favor of you to let the enclosed answer pass thro’ the same channel with your kind communications to him. Be pleased to accept, at the same time the renewed assurances of my high esteem with my cordial salutations. FC (DLC) .
Since mine of Sepr. 20. answering yours of Aug. 30. I have recd. that of Sepr. 28. with a copy of the Report of the Come. on Roads & canals. I have not been able to read more of it than the part which you notice. The Come. have transcended all preceding Advocates of the doctrine they espouse, in appealing to the old articles of Confederation for its support: Whatever might have been the...
Perceiving that I am indebted to you for a copy of the Report to the Senate relating to the "Colonization of persons of Colour", I return the thanks due to your politeness. The Document contains much interesting matter, and denotes an able hand in the preparation of it. I find it more easy, however, to accede to its conclusion agst. the power claimed for Congress, than to some of the positions...
J. M presents his respects to Mr. V. B. & thanks him for the Copy of the Report of the Joint Comtee of the Senate & Assembly of N.Y. on a Communication from the Governor kindly forwarded to him. He has recd. from a Perusal of the Document a just impression of the ability with which it was prepared & of the praiseworthy spirit of moderation & conciliation, which pervades it Draft (DLC) ; FC (ViU) .
Your late favor inclosing the Message of the President was duly recd. And I should have been more prompt in my thanks for your politeness: but for a painful Rheumatic Attack which drew my attention from every thing not immediately & urgently pressing on it. To this apology, permit me to add a avowed renewal of my present respectful & cordial salutations Draft (DLC) .
Your letter of June 9th. came duly to hand. On the subject of the discrepancy between the construction put by the message of the President on the Veto of 1817. and the intention of its author, the President will of course consult his own view of the case. For myself, I am aware that the document must speak for itself, and that that intention can not be substituted for the established rules of...
I have recd. your favor of the 3d. covering the Report to the Senate on the “Georgia Business.” The Report is drawn with the ability which might be expected from the Committee making it. The views which it presents on the subject, can not certainly be complained of by Georgia. The occurrence has been a most painful one, whether regarded in its tendency abroad or at home. And God grant that it...
Wishing to give the surest as well as a speedy conveyance of the inclosed letter to Genl. Lafayette, I take the liberty of requesting that it may be permitted to accompany the earliest dispatches from the Department of State, to Paris. Mrs. M. avails herself of the occasion & of my pen to return her thanks for the acceptable article* recd. through the hand of Mr. Carter Stephenson, whilst she...
J. Madison has duly recd the Copy of the President’s Message forwarded by Mr. Van Buren. In returning his thanks for this polite attention, he regrets the necessity of observing that the Message has not rightly conceived the intention of J. M. in his Veto in 1817. on the Bill relating to Internal Improvements. It was an object of the Veto to deny to Congress, as well the appropriating power,...
