I have lately received from Mr Gwinn clerk of the Genl Court at Annapolis a Deed which has been enrolled in that Office from yourself & lady, Doctr Stuart and lady & Miss Sprigg, to me.

16From James Madison to James Madison, Sr., 10 March 1794 (Madison Papers)
Yours of Feby. 17. came to hand some days ago. I have applied to Carr, and obtained the inclosed account of his Forte-Piano’s. The grand ones are as large as a Harpsichord & of the same form.

But on this point Fanny can...
17To James Madison from Hubbard Taylor, 10 March 1794 (Madison Papers)
