Exaggerations of...
2From James Madison to Robert R. Livingston, 11 July 1801 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. your favor of the 1st. instant. Your observations on Neutral rights & the means of promoting them are certainly very interesting, & will merit consideration.

5To Thomas Jefferson from Elijah Brainerd, 11 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Pray be so good, as to permit an unfortunate citizen to address you, with modesty & deference—From your election to the first office, in our nation, my hopes of redress, in my claim on my country, revive—not as to a pension, or any direct assistance, but because, foreign influence, British partiality, and the charm of nobility gilded by property, will now as I hope, cease to disturb the peace...

Your favor of the 9th. came to hand last night, & has this morning been referred to the Secretary of State, who will ask information from Colo.
