From James Madison to Edward Coles, [24 February 1827]

To Edward Coles

[24 February 1827]

Since my last misdated on the 22 or 23, I have recd. a letter from Mr. Peters1 saying that he had sent my obligation for a little over $1000. to the Bank in Richmond for collection. You will have no occasion therefore to enter into negociation with him on the subject. I shall endeavor to provide for the demand; but I really fear it may be impossible. Be this as it may, it will not lessen the extent, of what I wish you to accomplish as explained to you already. If I succeed in my endeavor in [sic] will be in a mode, transferring & procrastinating only this debt.

RC (NjP: Edward Coles Papers). Undated; conjectural date assigned based on internal evidence and JM to Coles, 23 Feb. (two letters [1], [2]) and 25 Feb. 1827.

1Letter not found.
