From James Madison to John G. Jackson, [ca. 5 September 1806]

To John G. Jackson

[ca. 5 September 1806]

Dear Sir

I recd. duly yours of   1 inclosing $300. The little delay has been no wise inconvenient. I regret only that I omitted to give you notice that there was no occasion for your being in a hurry. My last letters from London are of the 9th. & from Paris the 1st. of June. Nothing had occurred at either place from which the result could be known; on the other hand nothing particularly inauspicious to our hopes. The rumors of a negociation for peace between G. B. & Her enemies, which of late have gained some strength, necessarily interest our attention. We have Genl. & Mrs. Dearborn with us, & propose to go with them to Monticello tomorrow. Will it be impossible for you to take Orange in your way to Washington? Present our affects. to Mrs. J. & be assured Dr. Sir of my sincerest esteem & friendship

James Madison

RC (InU: Jackson Collection). Undated; conjectural date assigned here based on internal evidence and comparison with Henry Dearborn to Thomas Jefferson, 31 Aug. 1806, which states that Dearborn planned to leave Washington, D.C., for Monticello on Tuesday, 2 Sept. (DLC: Jefferson Papers), and Jefferson to JM, 2 Sept. 1806.

1Left blank by JM. He referred to Jackson’s letter of 25 Aug. 1806.
