Mr. Gallatin, some time since, had the goodness to apprise you of my intention to conduct at the seat of the General Govt. a Newspaper on a plan, calculated, in my opinion, to advance the best interests of the Country. Having since matured my ideas, I now do myself the pleasure of addressing you, enclosing the within sketch of my plan. It is my wish, and will be my effort to collect into a...
In consequence of the information you did me the favour to communicate thro’ Mr. Wagner in relation to Mr. Caldwell I immediately made known to him the probability of his being appointed to the consulate of Santo Domingo, if agreeable to him. I have this morning recd. his reply, signifying his disposition to accept the place. From the information furnished me by Mr. Wagner, it is probable some...
If it be not inconvenient for Mr. Smith to ride to the City, J. Madison will thank him for an interview. The forenoon of today is preferred, & the earlier the hour the more agreeable. RC ( DLC : J. Henley Smith Papers). Smith recorded his conversation with JM of 28 July as follows: “Having this morning received a note from the President of the U.S. requesting an interview I waited upon him. He...
My reflections on the acceptance of the office of Commissioner of the Revenue, wch you yesterday did me the honor to propose to me, have issued in my determination, in the event of my appointment, to accept it. In intimating this purpose, I beg leave to express my deep sense of this mark of your esteem, which cannot fail to animate me in the discharge of duties that a variety of circumstances...
Wm. Ward, Collector of the Revenue for the 10th. dist. of Massa. having forwarded his resignation on the very day of your departure I lost no time in writing to Mr. Gerry, who had been previously consulted, at your instance, on the vacation of the office by the rejection of Mr. Gordon by the Senate. Having this morning received Mr. Gerry’s reply, recommending Levi Thaxter, I have the honor to...
I am very sorry to be under the necessity of stating that Mr. Dalton, Col. of the 9th. dist. of Massachusetts, altho early called upon and since repeatedly written to, has not given Bond as required by the 18th. sect. of the Act for the assessment & collection of Direct taxes & internal duties. I fear there is little, if any chance of his doing so within a short time. As the provision of law...
In compliance with your desire I have apprised Mr. Joseph Dougherty of your determination to engage him to superintend the transportation of Mr. Jefferson’s Library at a daily compensation of four dollars. You will perceive, by the enclosed letter, that he considers this allowance much too low. Six dollars, he thinks, will not more than cover his expences & leave him a reasonable remuneration....
Altho’ I consider the estimate of expences in the inclosed letter, beyond the species of travelling that is to be performed, I shall not object to an allowance of $5, instead of 4 per day. This with the economy that ought & probably will be practiced, will leave at least $2. of nett saving. Should Jos: D. think more necessary, there will probably be no difficulty in engaging another fit hand,...
In transmitting the enclosed letter for Mrs. Madison, I cannot resist the impulse of my feelings in communicating to you my best wishes for your continued happiness, and for the improvement of your health, and that you may live to see the clouds dissipated that darken our political horison. With my best respects to Mrs. Madison I beg you to receive the assurances of my unabated consideration &...
