2From James Madison to George Graham, 30 October 1823 (Madison Papers)
Having been much disappointed in the rect. of debts, & my crops of every sort having for several years, essentially suffered from insects & bad Seasons, it became a material object with me to obtain a postponement of the instalment which I owe to your Bank on the 4th. of next month; and I understood from Mr. Cutts that this indulgence wd. be afforded.

But I must say at the same time that it was a very unnecessary proof of the groundlessness of the Charges. I had never admitted a doubt that they would recoil on the author.
