Your last favor recd. a few days ago was without date.

6From James Madison to Tench Coxe, 3 May 1804 (Madison Papers)
I enclose a copy of the Secretary of the Treasury’s letter to me respecting the laws to be purchased from Mr. Cary.

10From James Madison to Tench Coxe, 12 November 1803 (Madison Papers)
I was duly favored with yours of the 6th. & thank you for the extract relating to Louisiana. It does not add much to the Stock of our information on that subject, but it is well to know all the sources which may strengthen our just pretensions. It seems pretty certain that the title conveyed by the Treaty to the U. S. will reach Eastwardly as far as the river Perdigo. Most of the rumours You...
