From James Madison to William Jones, 22 August 1813

To William Jones

Montpelier Aug. 22. 1813

Dear Sir

I inclose an affecting letter from Mr. Coffin1. It is I suppose too late to take it even into consideration. Were it otherwise, and his recommendations as may be the case equal to those in behalf of Mr. Haff, who can not well have more merit, and is less in want, it might not be amiss to re-weigh the subject. Friendly respects

J. Madison

I return the proceedgs in the case of Lt. Sevier, with the remission in the form suggested. If a date be requisite please to put the proper one.

RC (PHi: William Jones Papers).

1. JM may have enclosed Alexander Coffin Jr.’s letter to him of 25 May 1813.
