1To James Madison from Joel Barlow, 26 July 1806 (Madison Papers)
Mr. Lee, supposing me at Washington, has addressed to me the enclosed papers, to lay before you. They will explain the demand of two French Merchants of Bordeaux for a certain sum said to have been deposited for them under the control of our government, and the documents in your office may decide whether their claim is well founded or not. I would thank you for an answer at your convenience,...
2To James Madison from Thomas Jefferson, 26 July 1806 (Madison Papers)
I left at Washington a great coat of which I shall have great need. Should this reach you before your departure I will thank you to bring it; and it will be in time if I recieve it when you come to Monticello yourself, as it will be on my return only that it will be wanting. I have written to mr. Lemaire to deliver it to you. The drought in this quarter is excessive. It begins about the...
3To James Madison from the Right Reverend James Madison, 26 July 1806 (Madison Papers)
Your Favr. of the 17t. is considered as a Proof of that Friendship upon which I have ever placed a perfect Reliance. It would certainly be injudicious to hesitate in the Prosecution of a well-concerted Plan of Business, upon a Prospect of Success, so very uncertain. Indeed, I would not have made the Proposition, had I been acquainted with the Circumstances, which you mention. It is true, I am...

7From Thomas Jefferson to James Bowdoin, 26 July 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you a long letter on the 10th. inst. since which your favor of May 20. has come to hand. by this I percieve, & with the deepest affliction, not only that a misunderstanding has taken place between yourself & Genl. Armstrong, but that it has occasioned a misconstruction of your powers likely to defeat the object of your mission, a mission on the result of which the eyes of all our...
8To Thomas Jefferson from Nehemiah Dodge, 26 July 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
It is not without the most lively sensations, which delicacy might be supposed to dictate, that I presume to address the President on a subject, which nothing short of his known benignity would move us to unfold. In Lebanon one of the principal inland Towns of the State of Connecticut we live: and it hath fallen to my lot to stand as pastor to a congregation in Baptist order; lately formed in...

I salute you with my best wishes MHi : Coolidge Collection.
