621Thomas S. Grimké to James Madison, 30 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
Accept my apology, not only for my inadvertence in addressing my last Pamphlet to Charlotte, instead of to Orange C. H. but likewise for my delay in replying to your letter of 10th of the present Month. Whilst I deeply regret your ill health, I cannot but on that account more deeply estimate the favor of so interesting and gratifying a letter from your pen. May your life be yet mercifully...
622Andrew Stevenson to James Madison, 29 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
I fear you will dread the sight of a letter from me, inasmuch, as it may lay claim, to the compliment of an answer! I beg you however to consider this letter as waiving its priviledge at least until yr lame hand, & leisure, will enable you to do so, without the slightest inconvenience to yourself! Knowing well that you are not an indifferent spectator of the scenes that are passing, so full of...
623Samuel L. Gouverneur to James Madison, 26 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
I have always understood from Mr. Monroe, that when he left this country he deposited with you, his packet of papers, relating to the investigation into the conduct &c of Genl. Hamilton—which was never opened, until it was returned by you to him, after his mission had terminated, and after the developement of its contents had been made from an other quarter. It would be very gratifying to me,...
624R. H. C. Taylor to James Madison, 26 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
By recent information obtained from Washington City, we learn that thro’ our father, (late Majr Wm Taylor) myself and Sisters are entitled to some land scrip as the heirs (or a portion of them) of my uncle John, for services rendered by him in the war of the revolution. It appears that it is only necessary to prove that he was a midshipman in the service, or that it was understood by those who...
625Thomas W. Griffith to James Madison, 25 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
The compilation, of which I have the honour to tender you a Copy herewith, was undertaken from an impression that the agitation of the subject of amending the Constitution of the United States, even by an obscure individual and very imperfect manner, would afford some aleviation to the irritated feelings of part of the Community. Having on the eve of different public Meetings on the...
626James Madison to Edward Livingston, 24 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. your letter of the 19th. inst., in which you ask my assent to the publication of my answer* to yours of Apl. 29. 1830, inclosing a copy of your speech on Mr. Foots resolution. As the answer contained nothing of a confidential import, there can be no objec<tion> to that use of it other than that the formal sanction of the writer might seem to attach more importance to the Epitome...
627Edward Livingston to James Madison, 19 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
Your opinions on constitutional points are of so much value that when they are given even in private letters they are considered as public property and are published frequently I believe without your permission; I have never thought myself authorized to take such a liberty with any part of a private Correspondence, and therefore trouble you with this application. In acknowledging the receipt...
628James Madison to Nicholas P. Trist, 18 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
Yours of the 11th. was duly recd. I am sorry that you could not visit us at the intended time, and still more so for the obstacles to it. We shall look for you at the period you now have in view, with a hope that the trip on horseback will be as favorable to your health as it promises to be. I have not yet looked into the columns of the Gazette kindly enclosed to me, on the Bank transaction. I...
629James Bayard to James Madison, 18 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
I hope I shall be excused for asking your perusal of the enclosed work upon the Constitution of the United States. It is intended principally for the use of Colleges and schools where the subject has hitherto been much neglected, so that few persons besides lawyers pretend to have any knowledge of the Constitution. At the present time it is peculiarly important that this instrument should be...
630Thomas R. Dew to James Madison, 15 January 1833 (Madison Papers)
Accompanying this, you will recieve a copy of my Lectures on the Restrictive system, together with a Pamphlet on the Slave question, which I must beg that you will do me the honor to accept Well aware of the burthen of your correspondence, & the constant demands which are made on your valuable labors I cannot think of requesting of you a perusal of the sheets which are herewith transmitted If...
