To James Madison from Alexander J. Dallas, 18 October 1816

From Alexander J. Dallas

18t. Oct. 1816.

Dear Sir.

I have just received your favor of the 15t. instant, and, conforming to it, I shall cease to act in the Treasury, after the dispatch of tomorrow’s mail.

The kind expressions of your letter, make a deep and lasting impression. I shall resort to the testimonials of your approbation and confidence, for consolation, whenever the past reminds me of any sacrafice to be lamented; or the future shall produce any care to be endured. Accept the renewal of my cordial wishes for your honor, health, and happiness. I am, Dear Sir, most respectfully & faithfully, Your’s

A. J. Dallas
