1To James Madison from James Maury, 2 March 1816 (Madison Papers)
I presented, thro’ Mr. Monroe, my thanks for the honor done me in the re-appointment of Consul for this port, for which I beg leave in this, to repeat my thanks. Your draft of £204:16:4 in favor of Richard Cutts was lately presented & paid: this balances the account rendered in March 1814, but the interest accruing since & to your credit amounts to £19:9:6, and supposing it might be...

On the 2d instant I had the honor of continuing to you the tender of my services in the situation I so long have held in this port, as Consul of the United States.

4To James Madison from James Maury, 2 January 1815 (Madison Papers)
Peace having been at length agreed on, I take the earliest Opportunity of continuing the offer of my services in the situation of Consul, which I have so long had the honor of holding in this place: and, altho’ years must have, in some degree, rendered me less active, yet they cannot diminish the attachment I have to my countrymen or the desire I have invariably possessed of being useful to...

On the 16th March last I had the honor to inclose you the account of Sales of the Tobo you were so good as consign me some years ago, with your account current, by which there appears due to you a balance of £204:15:4¼ which is at your disposal.

I am requested by Mr Joy to forward the inclosed. I wish there was a better prospect than now presents for amicable adjustment between our country & this. It daily appears more & more the determination of administration to continue the orders in council; yet petitions for their revocation increase; as do the prices of Grain & other articles of food, which, adding to the distresses of...
10To James Madison from James Maury, 20 March 1812 (Madison Papers)
Mr Joy has desired me to forward the inclosed. Wheat & Flour advanced very suddenly some days ago & the prevalent opinion is that prices are yet to be higher. I have not been able to do any thing satisfactory with the Tobaccoe you were so good as to consign me in 1810. It is all on hand. With high respect & esteem I have the honor to be your obliged friend & Servt Flour 70/ a 74/. ⅌ barrel...

With this is a Copy of the letter I had the honour to write to you on the 14th November, since which I have not received any instructions about your Tobacco ⅌ Adeline. No part of it has been sold. It now is more than twelve months since the commencement of the Unparalleled distresses to which the Trading Interest of this Country has been subjected. They still are so great that Government offer...

The immense influx of our produce since the expiration of the...
13To James Madison from James Maury, 11 October 1810 (Madison Papers)
I am much obliged to you for your consignment of Tobacco ⅌ Adeline, of which I am just advised by Mr Stone, with orders for insurance. It is done at 3 Guineas ⅌ Cent, so as to cover £20 ⅌ Hhd. This market now is so much overdone with Tobacco as to contain nearly double the quantity I ever knew. It is greatly lowered in value & of dull sale. Whenever the Vessell arrive & the cargo be landed &...

15To James Madison from James Maury, 3 May 1809 (Madison Papers)
I beg leave to present you my congratulations on your becoming president of the United States, hoping you will experience that comfort in the office, which those, who undertake so arduous an one under the influence of such motives as your’s, so highly merit. The partial repeal of the Embargo law was indeed very unexpected in this country; but the late revocation of the orders in council has...
