To James Madison from Alexander J. Dallas, 30 January 1815

From Alexander J. Dallas

30 Jany 1815.

Dr. Sir.

I send the conclusion of the narrative.1 Two pages are left blank, for the insertion of the additonal outrages, which I had not the documents to specify.

I am afraid, I have not improved your reputation in this business. I know that I have not equalled my own design. But you will recollect, in what a scene of toil and trouble, I have been obliged to snatch the time, for this particular object. I am always most faithfully, & respectfully, Sir, Yr. obed Sert

A. J Dallas

RC (DLC: Rives Collection, Madison Papers).
