According to my promise I write to you again altho’ I do not feel quite sure that you will have time to read my Letters or that they will be more acceptable than the nonsensical scraps of poetry which I used to plague you with last Summer generally by the advice of Charles—but as that mania appears to be over I shall only write you short occasional Letters to let you know how we go on altho’...
2554From James Madison to Samuel H. Smith, 4 November 1826 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. your letter of Ocr. 25. requesting from me any information which would assist you in preparing a Memoir of Mr. Jefferson, for the Columbian Institute. Few things would give me more pleasure than to contribute to such a task; and the pleasure would certainly be increased by that of proving my respect for your wishes. I am afraid however, I can do little more than refer you to other...

2558From James Madison to John Hartwell Cocke, 1 November 1826 (Madison Papers)
I am just favored with yours of Ocr. 28. As the intimation to Mr Hilliard will go with more weight from the Executive Committee than from one of its members, I drop a few lines for him to be signed by you also, and duly forwarded. I send it in this form the rather, because of the distinction between the 2 cases of the Periodicals and of the general supply of books; and between both as now...
2559From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 1 November 1826 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. from Mr. Van Zandt a copy of his Bill in Chancery: of course known to you, and have answered the communicati⟨on⟩ by a letter a copy of which I have thought it proper to inclose you. The errors of fact which it corrects make me hope that I shall be rescued by the explanation from the disagreeable situation in which the Bill places me. With friendly wishes RC ( MHi ); draft ( DLC )....
