1To James Madison from Daniel Carroll, 13 March 1786 (Madison Papers)
Our General Assembly adjournd this day after a Session of 4 Months. The proposition from yr. Assembly, for a meeting of Commissioners, from all the States, to adjust a general commercial System, reach’d us not long before the conclusion of the Session. Our House of Delegates propos’d Commissioners for that purpose. The measure appear’d to the Senate, tho’ undoubtedly adopted by yr. Assembly...
2To James Madison from Daniel Carroll, 28 October 1787 (Madison Papers)
Yr. favor of the 17th Instant came to hand Yesterday. Since my return I have been so engag’d, particularly by attending on an aged sick parent, that I have not been in the way of obtaining any intelligence to be depended on, untill last monday when I saw General Washington at a meeting of the Potomack Compy. The information from him was pleasing; Docr. Stuart, Representative for Fairfax,...
3To James Madison from Daniel Carroll, 10 February 1788 (Madison Papers)
On my Brother’s returning from N York he inform’d me, that you had left that City for Pha, in yr. way to Virga. I was at Annapolis, and had just then wrote you the proceedings in Assembly respecting the federal Constitution. Not knowing how to forward it to you with safety, must account for my Silence, untill this moment when I am inform’d by a Letter from my Brother, that you are in N. York;...

Yr. favor from G Town came to hand, likewise yrs. of the 10th. Instant I receiv’d a few days past. As I do not know of an opportunity of conveying this to you, it is probable you will see in the papers, the result of the proceedings of our Convention, before this reaches you. It is expected this day will close the important business, if it was not determin’d yesterday. Our Convention consists...
5To James Madison from Daniel Carroll, 28 May 1788 (Madison Papers)
I have much to say confidentially , and but little time afforded for it. In my last I intimated, that I shoud communicate something respecting our Elections. I shall confine myself to that for Annarundall County. Untill a very few days before that Election, it was generally beleiv’d, there wou’d be no opposition to Mr Carroll of Carrollton and the other 3 federal Candidates. The two Chases,...
6To James Madison from Daniel Carroll, 28 May 1788 (Madison Papers)
Yr. favor (I beleive of the 10th Ulto) came to hand. Inclosd is a paper containing the address of the minority of our Convention. I wish it may be in my power to convey by Docr. Stueart, a State drawn up by Mr. Hanson (one of the Committee) of the proceedings, which will disclose some matters not mention’d in the Address, & may give a different cast to those proceedings—he promisd to send it...
7To James Madison from Daniel Carroll, 22 May 1789 (Madison Papers)
Mr. Carroll presents his complits to Mr. Madison returns him the inclosed estimate, & is much obliged to Mr. Madison for the perusal of it. Quere how the deficiency on this branch of revenue is to be made good? Would not an excise on ardent spirits, foreign & domestic be adviseable? Stamp duties I hope may be collected to defray the expence of the federal Judiciary. RC ( DLC ). Addressed by...
8To James Madison from Daniel Carroll, 4 October 1789 (Madison Papers)
It is more to comply with my promise, than to give you any information that I take up my pen. Col. Grayson will probably inform you what has pass’d between him & Morriss, who has given him notice that on the meeting of Congress he shall immediately take up the Bill only postpond —this Idea may possibly be thrown out here to brake his fall in this business—it appears to Col. Grayson & myself...
9To James Madison from Daniel Carroll, 26 November 1790 (Madison Papers)
You will perhaps be pleasd in receiving a few lines from me at this time with an account of our Transactions so far as relate to Potowmack. I refer you to the inclosd copy of a resolution passd by both our Houses. The ways & Means are now before the other House, or a Committee. There is a Majority in both Branches of the Legislature for funds, if we can keep together. If any thing shou’d...
10To James Madison from Daniel Carroll, 6 April 1791 (Madison Papers)
I have flatterd myself with hopes of receiving a line from you with information of the time you woud be at this place. On enquiry however I find it incertain whether you wou’d not turn yr. face to the East. Shou’d that not be the Case, I claim yr. promise of letting me know when I may expect to see you, & hope you will arrange matters so as not to be in a hurry to proceed when you get to this...
