2161Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 6 March 1822 (Jefferson Papers)
I do not know by what individuals the association was formed which is the subject of the inclosed letter to mr Morse . I suppose them to have been few and private, and that the undertaking must have been on too partial a view of the subject. I observe your name not on the roll, and for a reason too light to have been the true one: and I suspect therefore it has been refused for good reasons....
2162Thomas Jefferson to John Brazer, 24 August 1819 (Jefferson Papers)
The acknolegement of your favor of July 15 & thank s for the Review which it covered of mr Pickering ’s Memoir on the modern Greek have been delayed by a visit to an occasional but distant residence from Monticello , and to an attack here of rheumatism, which is just now moderating. I had been much pleased with the memoir, and was much also with your review of it. I have little hope indeed of...

We have the pleasure of transmitting to you, a Copy of the proceedings of a Meeting held at Trenton; the objects of which are sufficiently explained in the Resolutions adopted—we can truly assure you, that whether we consider the number of the persons present, or their individual importance, a more respectable assembly has never been convened in this State: whether the subject of those...

Should I not hear from you in time I will forward your brother’s letter referred to the Scy of the Board of Commissioners, tho’ I should prefer doing so to your Agent, were I acquainted with his name, and sure that it would find him at Washington.

2167James Madison to Samuel P. Walker, Jr., 14 January 1830 (Madison Papers)
A rule which I have found it expedient to impose on myself not permitting me to comply with the request in your letter of the 10th. inst; I can only express the pleasure with which I observe the high testimony borne to your promising talents and worth; a pleasure which is enhanced by your relation to an illustrious patriot, in the public veneration for whose memory, my personal share is so...

Nous avançons tous en Age, c’est pour cela, mon cher et réspéctable Ami, que je vous prie de vouloir bien (:et comme vous avez tout le pouvoir:) arranger; qu’apres la mort de notre digne Ami M r Barnes , quelqu’un d’aussi probe que lui prénne sa place, pour que je récoive les intéréts ponctuellement de mon fond; du quel aprés ma mort vous savez la destination invariable. Quant a present faites...
2169From Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams to John Quincy Adams, 24 August 1822 (Adams Papers)
August 24 As there has not been one incident which could induce me to write I have omitted my journal altogether. We had a visit yesterday from Mr. Saul and I determined to send Coachman home with the Carriage and Horses as we had made no use of it for three weeks; and it is no longer safe to ride in the environs of Philadelphia—When he arrives I beg you will desire him to see after Ben, who...
2170James Madison to Jared Sparks, 13 March 1828 (Madison Papers)
I had the pleasure of receiving a few days ago, your favor of Feb. 27th. from Washington. It was quite unexpected, the Newspapers having announced, without any subsequent contradiction, your departure for Europe. Since my last to you, I have recd. a letter from Col. Storrow, in answer to an enquiring one, in which he informs me that the Packet you committed to him is still in his hands, adding...
