11From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 30 September 1811 (Madison Papers)
I have received your favor of with the pleasure I could not but feel in learning that the accident to your shoulder was so far advanced towards a cure. It is with a very different feeling I am given to understand that any doubt exists as to your coming to Washington this winter, where besides considerations of a public nature, the social ones would be so interesting to us. I shall not give up...
12From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 6 [October] 1811 (Madison Papers)
A letter just recd. by Mr[s.] M. from Mrs. C. informs us that you had set out on a trip for Boston. This will probably find you returned, and I hope without any such accident as befel your former one. Mr. J. Q. Adams declines his Judiciary appt. Another is of course to be made as soon as the Senate are in session. Be so good as to give me without delay, information of the state of Mr....
13From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 25 February 1812 (Madison Papers)
I enclose for your amusement a few papers of latest date. You will see that the Constn. has returned from France, and that an arrival from G. B. has brought the speech opening the B. Parlt. The latter decides nothing as to a change of the Cabinet or repeal of the Orders in Council. Its tone, on the whole is not arrogant. It is silent as to Russia & Ireland and as to trade & revenue. Distress...
14From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 8 August 1812 (Madison Papers)
I have had the pleasure of receiving yours of the 25th. Ult: The rancorous opposition in some of the E. States to the war, is peculiarly unfortunate, as it has the double effect of crippling its operations, and encouraging the Enemy to withold any pacific advances otherwise likely to be made. It appears that the B. Cabinet has been forced into a reconsideration of their refusal to repeal the...
15From James Madison to Richard Cutts, [ca. 26 August] 1812 (Madison Papers)
Soon after my last was sent off, I recd. your favor of . The report of the Capt: relative to what came to his knowledge at Halifax, agrees substantially with accts. thro’ other channels. It is pretty certain that the war was little looked for, and that some of its effects are not a little dreaded. Still we ought to be prepared for an angry & malignant prosecution of it, on the B. side,...
16From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 5 May 1814 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. from H. Dearborn an acct. of duties paid for me on wine & brandy arrived at Boston. May I trouble you to convert the inclosed check into a note on that place and forward it to him with a request, that he will keep the articles in his hands, with the exception pointed out to him by Mrs. Madison, till he hears further on the subject. Can any thing be done in the case of Mr. Dalton...
17From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 27 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
I have re⟨c⟩d. yours of the . I am very glad that the loan has been useful to you. I shall not have a necessary call for it till I return to the City. You are therefore welcome to any further advantage to which you may be able to turn it. Inclosed are drafts on Mr. Maury of Liverpool for a ballance in his hands. Be so good as to have the bills filled up &c. and disposed of, putting the...
18From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 27 May 1817 (Madison Papers)
I have rcd. your two letters of the 21. & 22d. They came by the same mail. I return the letters inclosed in them. I missed the sale of my flour at the moment most favorable, in consequence of a trip to Charlottesville which I could not avoid, and which prevented the intended trip of Eddins to Fredg. My crop is still on hand, with the exception of a few barrels, which were disposed of before I...
19From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 13 July 1817 (Madison Papers)
I duly recd. your favor of the 6th. inst. As Mrs Cutts keeps you informed of what relates to herself & the part of her little family with us, I have only to make Mrs. Ms. and my returns to you and the part with you, for the affectionate remembrances you communicate. I am just closing my wheat harvest. It will not exceed 2/5 perhaps not ⅓ of what it would have been if uninjured by the Insect....
20From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 23 July 1817 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. yours of the 20th. and should with pleasure comply with the wish you intimate, but the remnant of my funds in Washington has been so reduced by necessary drafts, that there is little more there than will suffice for a debt I expect daily to be called for, incurred by Payne Todd on my account, in the purchase of a set of 4 if not 5 horses. The purchase has been made, and by the...
