3James Madison to Hubbard Taylor[?], 31 July 1830 (Madison Papers)
In the acct of Mr Harrow inclosed in yours of the 27 Ult. I find an error charging me for the year 1826. I return the acct. with the rect. for that year. As the error appears to proceed from another hand, it is possible that Mr Harrow in tracing may discover others. I am under a faint impression that my last payment was of still later date, but as I observe no rect. for it, I shall infer that...

From Bell I have heard...
