113To James Madison from Charles Pinckney, 10 November 1804 (Madison Papers)
I wrote you the day before yesterday, since which I have seen Mr. Frere who informed me, the answer he had received from this Court to the ultimatum he had sent them was so unsatisfactory that he was obliged to quit them, & this Morning he actually set out for Lisbon without taking leave of the Court. Now then is the time for Mr. Monroe to arrive, & I have accordingly written to him by various...

I informed you in my last that I was preparing to send by Mr Yard & Mr Young a detail of our affairs up to this time with the state of the new Convention I have proposed & the Conversations I have had with Mr Cevallos on the subject.

115To James Madison from Charles Pinckney, 4 September 1805 (Madison Papers)
In my last I informed you that the non arrival of Mr. Erving & the departure of Mr. Bowdoin for England, with the alarming captures made by the Spaniards on our Vessels since Mr. Monroe’s departure, had detained me here very much against my inclination to that time—that I had however suffered my sense of public duty to prevail over my private interest & wishes, & while I conceived there was a...
116To James Madison from Charles Pinckney, 16 May 1799 (Madison Papers)
I have no doubt you have recieved my communications at large from Mr Nicholas. I prefered speaking to him & Mr Venable to writing, as many of my letters have been intercepted. I was glad to find, whether in consequence of those or not, that you have again appeared in the State Legislature. Be assured I cannot think you were ever right to leave public life—in times like the present I can never...

I have lately recieved the private letter you did me the favor to write me & will whenever I have any thing that I think will be entertaining to You continue to write you privately—for the last few months I have been confined closely to Madrid & the Sitios owing to the violent putrid & malignant fever which raged in this City having among thousands of others attacked my family so violently...

119To James Madison from Charles Pinckney, 28 March 1802 (Madison Papers)
Hearing of an opportunity by an American Gentleman to Bourdeaux I avail myself of it to send you a Book containing a general list of what are here called the reales derechos of the Customhouses & a pretty good view of their commercial regulations. It is in Spanish & I could get no translation of it either in French or English but as it appears to be complete on the subjects it treats of you...

Mr. Wells, an American Gentleman, who has been here some time on claims from South America, informs me he will return to the United States in a few days—by him I have the further opportunity of informing you, that finding Mr. Cevallos considered himself as obliged to wait until he received Dispatches from the Colonial Officers of New Orleans before he could give a decisive answer to the...
