761To James Madison from Albert Gallatin, 16 July 1810 (Madison Papers)
It appears that a depreciation of the paper currency of Norway has taken place which requires, for the purpose of calculating the duties, the interference of the President. I enclose for that purpose an Act for your signature; which, if you approve, please to return under cover to Mr Duvall, as I expect to leave this for New York to morrow. I also enclose for your approbation a recommendation...

You told us in writing when you were about to Establish a Factory among us, that we should have goods at the same price they were then sold to the Cherokees at Tellico; we have found a very great Difference from the first begining of the Chickasaw Factory in the price of goods here & at Tellico & we have to pay higher every year, so much so, that we suppose the goods will get so high that it...

766To James Madison from Armand Duplantier, 21 July 1810 (Madison Papers)
I have received duplicate copies of a letter from General La Fayette, which you had the goodness to send me; Mr. Smith informed me that you had done me the honor to write to me at the same time: if so, the letter must have miscarried, for I did not receive it.

Owing to his engagments at some distance, and to an injury which he lately received in blowing a rock, I could not see him till today, when I explaind fully your wishes respecting his services. He seemed to be much gratified at the...
