1371To James Madison from George Turner, 19 July 1789 (Madison Papers)
As many of the public offices are about to be disposed of, may I crave the favour of your influence? Having experienced your friendship on a former occasion, though I did not make use of the letter you favoured me with, I feel emboldened to offer you this additional trouble, which, I trust, you will excuse. I am unacquainted with the particular appointments which are, at this time, to be made,...
1372To James Madison from Augustus B. Woodward, 26 February 1815 (Madison Papers)
The intelligence of a pacification, if authentic, as I presume it is, makes a great alteration not only in the state and affairs of the nation, but also of most individuals; and will excuse my addressing you a line personally. I dare not undertake to determine for myself whether the enterprize I have in view, and of which you are apprized, would be advanced, or retarded by a gratification of...
1373To James Madison from Thomas Jefferson, 19 August 1804 (Madison Papers)
In a conversation with mr. Granger not long before we left Washington he mentioned that he was about to establish a post line from Natchez to New Orleans, and must place an office at Baton rouge. I told him that that should have good previous consideration in the present jealous state of the Spanish officers; that perhaps they might even stop our mail carrier. I heard no more of it till last...

A fiew days ago I sent you by the Mail a printed Circular; the object of which is to gain information as to the best plan of establishing Schools & Acadamies for the education of the youth of Kentucky. The importance of the subject must be my apology for this liberty. I was reluctant to intrude upon your leisure or to tax your time; nor is it wished that our application to you for information...

When the notes of the joint subscribers were presented to the Bank, that of the Mr Taliaferro’s (tho’ endorsed by Catlett Conway Jr.) was rejected: and in consequence the note of the whole was continued on its former footing.

I sincerely thank You for the interest You have taken in favour of Mr. Bailey. He is a good republican and a worthy honest Man, which qualifications, I have thought, entitled him to Some Notice from the Government, in his line of business. I was heartily...
