1From John Adams to Mercy Otis Warren, 8 August 1807 (Adams Papers)
More demonstrations of your Friendship for Mr Adams appear in the 229 page of the third Volume. The Same disposition to wink him out of Sight, to represent him in an odious light, to lessen and degrade him below his Station, which runs through every part of your history in which he appears, is very visible here again. “Mr John Adams had left Holland and joined the Plenipotentiaries of the...

3To James Madison from A. Bouchery, 8 August 1807 (Madison Papers)
I have discovered a certain process which embraces two objects equally important: The one is to avoid the considerable decomposition that takes place in the first manufacturing of Sugar extracted from the Cane: the other, not less considerable, prevents that which results from the labour of the Refiner.

I had the honor of receiving, this day, by express from St: Louis, your letter of the 2d. Ulto. covering the President’s Proclamation on the subject of the late outrage on the Chesapeake, and other national differences. On this remote frontier, we partake in the fervors of our Atlantic countrymen; and should the occasion present itself, would, I am persuaded, shew ourselves Americans, as well...
6To James Madison from Josef Yznardy, 8 August 1807 (Madison Papers)
Notwithstanding being well aware that when our Chiefs are Silent, and they do not reprimand with unfounded complaints, it is a true and tacit sign that they approve our Conduct, and do not give hearings to false malicious representations and publications; therefore I hope and expect Sir that you will disimulate the franchise with which I expressed myself in my Letter of the 10th. June last;...
