11To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 22 August 1806 (Abstract) (Madison Papers)
§ From Jacob Wagner. 22 August 1806, Department of State. “I shall retain the case of the crew of the Indefatigable in order that I may more fully examine it. It may not perhaps be considered improper to publish the substance of Mr. Merry’s enclosed letter; at least it seems expedient to apprize the Collector of Passamaquoddy of it. Mr. Goldsborough informs me that he has reason to believe...
12To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 19 August 1806 (Madison Papers)
I am Sorry that another unexpected obstacle is likely still longer to retard the departure of the Tunisians. The Secretary of the Navy has forwarded letters of the 13th. of which the enclosed copies were furnished only yesterday. An indemnity for the annulling of the debentures by Shifting the cargo would be a mere form; and if no Treasury arrangement could dispense with the inconvenience...

A favourable opportunity offering for Philadelphia, I have returned Mr. Duponceau his books. I do not see what we can do to assist Murray; but I have acknowledged the receipt of his papers. Mr. Harvey has been advised to collect depositions to shew that his son was forcibly or deceptively placed on board the Leander, which he intimates he would have it in his power to do. The two cases of...

§ From Jacob Wagner. 11 August 1806. “There having been no indication against my opening the enclosed [not found], it was impossible to avoid it. It will therefore be best that it should seem to have been opened by yourself.” RC ( DLC ). 1 p.; marked “(Private)”; docketed by JM .
16To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, [ca. June 1806] (Madison Papers)
Views of improving my circumstances having led me to the purpose of retiring from Washington by the first of next October, it is due both to propriety and to my sentiments towards you, to apprise you thus early of my intention. I have the honor to be, Dr. Sir, with great respect, Your most obed. servt. RC ( DLC ). Docketed by JM . Undated; dated 1806 in the Index to the James Madison Papers....
17To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 8 June 1806 (Madison Papers)
I was to have seen Mr. Duvall to day on the subject of the enquiry of Mr. Mc.Lean: though I am pretty sure that he will not act upon the case. It would be contrary to precedent to put an Inspector on board her; and it has been settled that prize goods may be sold for the purpose of repairing the vessel which brought them in, if repairs are indispensible; the part sold paying duty. After seeing...

They were however returned by the President to the Dep. State; but lest any misapprehension may have taken place about their having been before sent for the appropriation, they are now handed to Mr. Madison, that he may be...

The proposal I was directed to make has been promptly and handsomely accepted, as will be expressed in a letter to be delivered to me to morrow. A marriage having taken place in my family and the parties being expected here to morrow evening, if they come, I shall not return till saturday; otherwise the day after to morrow. I saw Payne this morning and delivered Mrs. M’s commands. He is very...
20To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 17 October 1805 (Madison Papers)
Enclosed are the abstracts from Sir J. Marriott’s reports, the references to treaties, and an extract from Reeves, respecting the modifications of the navigation laws to suit the course of war. To the latter I have not found time to add the references I have collected to additional acts, including the late order issued by Ld. Hawkesbury: they will follow to morrow.
