1To John Adams from Richard Rush, 25 April 1815 (Adams Papers)
R. Rush presents his respectful compliments to Mr Adams, and begs leave to enclose him a note which he has just received from Mr Monroe. In consequence of it, R. R. has, in the face of all past trespasses, ventured to send the papers back again to Mr Monroe. This will add a few days more to delays hitherto incurred, but to such good purpose that R. R. flatters himself with the hope of...
2Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Coppinger, 25 April 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknolege the reciept of your favor of the 6 th . I have no doubt, either in a moral or economical view, of the desirableness to introduce a taste for malt liquors instead of that for ardent spirits. the difficulty is in changing the public taste & habit. the business of brewing is now so much introduced in every state, that it appears to me to need no other encouragement than to...
3From James Madison to Alexander J. Dallas, 25 April 1815 (Madison Papers)
The Mail due yesterday having failed I did not receive till this morning your communications dated on the 2 2d. inst. As it appears that no legal consideration is opposed to the appt. of Bissel & Smith to Regts. their just claims to that arrangement can not be doubted. The brevets to them may be issued when you chuse. It has been mentioned that Smith wd. gladly accept the Creek agency, which...

7To James Madison from James Monroe, 25 April 1815 (Madison Papers)
I have yours of the 23 d. Col: Aspinwall is desirous of obtaining the appointment to London as you were apprizd before you left us. The principal competitors are Col: Drayton & Com: Barney. The loss of his arm gives him I think a stronger claim than either of the others, and will perhaps reconcile both of them to his appointment. His appointment would open a place in the army for some other...
8To James Madison from Alexander J. Dallas, 25 April 1815 (Madison Papers)
General Brown will probably be here tonight; and I think the organization of the Corps, and selection of Officers, may be compleated on Wednesday. Be so good as to put the inclosed into any shape, that will answer the purpose intended. I think it of some importance, that the feelings of the deranged Officers should be soothed; but it would be impolitic, and, indeed, impracticable to use any...
9From James Madison to James Monroe, 25 April 1815 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. yours of the 23d. I inclose another respectable application for the place held by the late Mr. Daingerfield. I am sensible of the delicacy attending the selection, as it relates to yourself; and will, if I can, converse with Mr. Nelson, on all the views which ought to be taken of the subject, before I form a final opinion. Being on a visit to Mr. Jefferson for a few days I may...
10Thomas Jefferson to William Wingate, 25 April 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
I return you the volume you were pleased to send for my perusal. the piety and patriotism of your views merit high commendation, and I am sensible of the honor of your proposition that I should undertake a cooperation in them with you. but I am now too old to embark in new enterprizes, and particularly to undertake a journey to Washington to communicate it to the Senators. recommending...
