1152James Maury to James Madison, 31 March 1828 (Madison Papers)
Before committing myself as I did in my letter of the 29 of January, I ought to have been better informed than I now find I had been, when I wrote it. And must correct as soon as I can a mis-statement, lest you, under the sanction of perhaps, the oldest Tobacco merchant in Europe , should quote him: therefore, instead of "for the purpose of imparting flavor to their flavorless Trash" be so...

1155To James Madison from James Monroe, [ca. 15 June] 1813 (Madison Papers)
I have not seen Mr. Tazewell & therefore can add nothing to what I have already said respecting genl. Taylor. I am under a strong impression that Winder, Howard & Taylor ought if possible to be appointed. Perhaps, if there should be any difficulty in the business, it may be well, to send in only a part of the nominations to day. By the above, I do not mean, that Parkers pretentions ought to be...
