M r William Short of this City, called on me this morning, in relation to those instruments which you had the kindness to lend me.

Your letter of the 3 d inst. was received here the day before yesterday. It was not until today that I was able to find Mr Boyé—Here is what I learned from him.

217From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 7 January 1826 (Madison Papers)

But there seems little ground for hope, that he will exchange for it his present advantages in New York. The only material attraction, beyond the fees, is that of a Pavilion, rent free; of which his tenure would be of...
