1James Madison to John Andrew Graham, 15 August 1828 (Madison Papers)
I have duly recd. the copy of your Memoirs of J. H. Tooke, with which you have been pleased to favor me. Having never entered particularly into the enquiries concerning the authorship of the letters of Junius, I am among those least competent to judge between the Candidates for that celebrity. If you have not established the title of Tooke, you have at least set aside that of some others, and...
2From John Adams to John Graham, 28 February 1823 (Adams Papers)
I have rec’d and heard y’r favor of Feb 23d and the pamphlet enclosed, it is a free manly & independent argument at the bar—it is quite orthodox in liberty, humanity, & in law—at least I think so as far as the judges express’d their sentiments—“The court agrees with Dr Graham, in most of the points wh’ he has taken on the subject of examinations & confessions taken in the police office;.” A...
3From James Madison to John Graham, [ca. 14 January 1817] (Madison Papers)
If the ports blockaded be not within the possessions of the B. E. I. Company, a representation on the subject to the B. Govt. will be proper thro’ Mr. Adams, or Mr. Bagot. RC ( DNA : RG 59, ML ). Undated; conjectural date assigned based on John Graham to JM , ca. 13 Jan. 1817 , at the bottom of which JM wrote this reply.
4From James Madison to John Graham, 30 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
The Spanish Documents inclosed; with the letter from McCall, were sent to me by Mr. Dallas: They are curious and interesting. Mr. Dallas is apprized that they would be communicated to the Dept. of State. As he is or soon will be in Washington, you will be able to know from him whether he chuses that they shd. remain there. If his choice be to repossess them you will return them, taking copies...
5From James Madison to John Graham, 11 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
I return the letter of Mr. Poinsett with the Spanish documents inclosed in it. They coincide with other disclosures of the policy of G. B. at a certain period at least, in favor of Spain, and agst. the U. S. I add to these inclosures two letters from Buennos Ayr⟨es⟩ of which the Mr. Thomson named by you was the bearer. Your communication of them to Mr. Monroe, will enable him to hold the usual...
6From James Madison to John Graham, 6 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
I have just recd. yours of the 3d. and return without delay the several letters inclosed in it. The apprehensions of Mr. Shaler, are instigated at least, by the recent occurrence, if true, at Oran, and its probable effect on the relations of G.B. & Algiers. Mr. Adams’s idea of making his Country, the sole Champion of Xndum against the Barbarians, is very heroic; but is not in perfect harmony...
7From James Madison to John Graham, 5 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
I return the letter from Mr. Bagot. It manifests a good disposition on his part, and on that of the Commander in cheif in Canada. But it appears by communications to the War Dept. from one of our own sources, that the hostile purposes of the Indians in question, are the effect, of instigations from British Traders. I have desired Mr. G. Graham to lay these communications before the Dept of...
8From James Madison to John Graham, [ca. 1 August 1816] (Madison Papers)
I return the papers sent with yours of the 29th: except the letter from E. Lewis, which goes to the Treasy. Dept. If Mr. B. has no more power than to receive proposals, I sd. have supposed his object in an interview wd. have been simply to ask for them, with an assurance of the General disposition of his Govts. to receive them favorably, and that the uncertainty or misconception occasioned by...
9Thomas Jefferson to John Graham, 19 July 1816 (Jefferson Papers)
I take the liberty in which you have so often & so kindly indulged me of requesting you to send the inclosed to mr Appleton by the first safe conveyance by which you may send official dispatches to him, and with my assurance of a due sense of this favor accept those of my great esteem & respect.

10Thomas Jefferson to John Graham, 17 August 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
I avail myself as usual of your kindness in asking the benefit of the government channel for the conveyance of the inclosed letters. if there should be a direct conveyance to mr Appleton at Leghorn , that to mr Mazzei would go safest that way, because he is particularly known to mr Appleton . but the choice of conveyance I leave altogether to your discretion & friendship, only observing that...
