42To James Madison from Tench Coxe, [ca. 28 November] 1801 (Madison Papers)
A small addition is proposed to the note by the mail of monday & wednesday from Pha. to Washn. The subject is of deep importance. It does not proceed from the vanity of suppose [ sic ] that any thing can strike here, which will not occur there. Any dangerous views towards this country are most practicable where there is a particular description of people. We are obviously most vulnerable...
43To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 20 June 1806 (Madison Papers)
The subject on which I have lately expressed my sentiments to you is so important in itself and so influential in its consequences, that I am led to continue some attention to it. In Poulson’s Amern. daily advertiser of this city of the 17th. inst. there is a proclamation of the Russian Adml. Henry Bailey, in which confiscation is held up as the consequence of infractions of the general...
44To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 24 March 1789 (Madison Papers)

46To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 18 August 1787 (Madison Papers)
Some matters of a good deal of consequence to myself render it necessary for me to be known to Mr. Jefferson—just so far as to take the liberty of addressing two or three letters to him. You will oblige me very much by favoring me with two copies of a short letter of introduction to go by different opportunities. It will be much more agreeable to me to receive them from you sealed than open....
47To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 14 July 1807 (Madison Papers)
I have been requested to transmit to you the papers in relation to Mr. William Griffith Montgomery, which I have now the honor to inclose. His father is one of that numerous body of natives of Ireland, whom the American war of 1775 found here. He took an active part in the revolutionary contest to its close.

48To James Madison from Tench Coxe, [ca. 17 November 1814] (Madison Papers)
The admission of new states, and particularly of Louisiana, and the representation, on consideration of slaves having been incorrectly used to create eastern dissatisfaction, in this Crisis of our country, it has appeared to be a duty to give those two points a careful examination. The inclosed paper relates to one of them, but it takes one more to do bare justice to that perverted topic. It...
49To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 4 July 1807 (Madison Papers)
I have sent to our greater seaports from New Orleans to Portsmouth N. H. to different friends, copies of the dispatch on impressment. You will see from the enclosed paper how seasonable the important contents of that paper are. It is true that many circumstances will induce men of all parties to support our opposition to G. B. whether of war, or less seriousness. But every day convinces me...
