142James Madison to Edward Everett, 23 June 1835 (Madison Papers)
I have duly recd. your favour, postmarked the 9th. inst. containing your suggestion on the subject of my manuscript papers. I am fully aware that these, as far as worthy of the public eye, could pass to it, under no editorial auspices with greater advantages than under yours; and I have a just sensibility to the friendly dispositions, as far as these could be properly indulged, with which the...
143Unidentified Correspondent to James Madison, 18 June 1835 (Madison Papers)
Casting around an enquiring look for the Causes which have lead to our present Internal National Embarrassments ; I find, next to the main or principal Cause, the total want of qualification in the President, is, the admission on the part of some of our ablest Statesmen, that the National Bank is Unconstitutional—The Cabal 1. finding this a weak Point, immediately attempted its subjugation—But...
144George Joy to James Madison, 18 June 1835 (Madison Papers)
I have two members watching the progress of the Registration and Impressment Bills; and I shall leave to the Press to inform you what is passing in publick on that subject with the more Confidence; as I presume the Editors in the U. S. will suffer nothing bearing upon it to escape them. The enclosed Copy of a Letter, I have sent to Lord John Russell, will show the project which I had suggested...

My wagon will set off in the morning with two more hogsheads tobacco, which I hope will find a favorable market.

I subjoin a memorandum of articles which you will please send by the return of the wagon. You...
146James Madison to George Tucker, 13 June 1835 (Madison Papers)
The box containing the bound newspapers has come safe to hand; one of the volumes in an improved state. I hope my request did not hurry their return before you had done with them. Should it have so happened they are not beyond your reach. I find that I have more reason for apology than you had, for the delay in returning Sullivan’s libel on Mr. Jefferson which you left with me. It was put into...

148George Tucker to James Madison, 3 June 1835 (Madison Papers)
Your volumes of newspapers, which I return by the stage to morrow, I have kept an unreasonable time—but in truth I found that they communicated so much information which it was important for me to possess, and which I could obtain no where else, that I ventured to trespass thus on your goodness. The delay was somewhat increased by an injury which one of them sustained in its binding by a fall...
