351John Daingerfield to James Madison, 18 January 1832 (Madison Papers)
It is made necessary for us to shew that my mother was the only Heir of her Uncle Henry Willis, to enable us to draw that portion of the funds of Loyal Company to which we are entitled as claiming under her, and will thank you for any aid you can give us in establishing the fact—Mr Gilmer the agent told me a certificate signed by two persons would be received as sufficient evidence—Present me...
352William F. Gray to James Madison, 17 January 1832 (Madison Papers)

353Jared Sparks to James Madison, 17 January 1832 (Madison Papers)
I have this moment received your very obliging note of the 7th. instant. Yours of Nov. 25th. also came safely to hand. As to the main point in question, this letter seems to me conclusive, but I am still a good deal at a loss about the first draft of the Committee. The history of the composition of that draft would be a curious item in the proceedings of the convention. Perhaps it may...
354Joseph C. Cabell to James Madison, 12 January 1832 (Madison Papers)
Your favour of 2d. ult: was received in due time by the mail at this place. The copy of your letter to Mr. Townsend of South Carolina was communicated to Mr. Pleasants, agreeably to your permission: & it would have been returned to you in conformity to your request, before now, had it not been for my indisposition, leaving me barely time to attend to my indispensable duties at this place. I...
355Edward Coles to James Madison, 8 January 1832 (Madison Papers)
I have been anxious ever since I left you to learn the state of your health. I have heard from Mr. Barbour, Mr. Ingersoll &c &c, that they had heard from you since I left you; but they were unable to furnish me much information, and it has now been some time since I have heard any thing directly or indirectly from you. Mrs. M. was so good as to say she or Payne would write me a line to let me...
356Edward Coles to James Madison, 8 January 1832 (Madison Papers)
Thinking it possible, my dear Sir, you may not wish others to see what I am now about to take the liberty of writing to you, and if it should not be entirely agreeable to you that you can the more readily throw it into the fire and think no more of a thing which is known only to you and myself, I am induced to add, on a seperate sheet, that I have frequently thought of what passed in...
357Nicholas P. Trist to James Madison, 5 January 1832 (Madison Papers)
Your favor of the 2nd—was answered yesterday evening, & the answer went by this morning’s mail. Lest, however, it should meet with some accident, I repeat the information it contained. The law of Maryland, now in force here, makes no distinction between holograph and other wills. It requires that all wills be signed by the testator (or by some one by his express direction) in the presence of...
358Nicholas P. Trist to James Madison, 4 January 1832 (Madison Papers)
Your favor of the 2d—postmarked 3d—was received this morning, after the departure of the mail. I immediately set about ascertaining what the law of Maryland was on the point in question, at the time of the cession: this being the law of Washington county in the District of Columbia, unless altered by act of Congress, which, I have ascertained, has not been done. The act of the Legislature of...
359W. W. Billing to James Madison, 3 January 1832 (Madison Papers)
I enclose an account for Taxes due the Corporation of Washington for the years 1830 and 1831 amounting to Ninety dollars and 49 cents—the property occupied by Mr. Richard Cutts—In troubling you with application for payment of this bill it is proper I should state, that I have Calld on Mr. Cutts for it, but find there is no alternative remaining but to advertise the property for sale. On one...
360Edward Everett to James Madison, 23 December 1831 (Madison Papers)
I have this day Your favor of the 21st, accompanied with a copy of a letter of the 14th Nov. The latter, I am concerned to say, never reached me. Deeply regretting its loss, I am nevertheless gratified to find, that it had occurred to You, that my neglect to answer it, was not intentional. I return You, with many thanks, the pamphlet You were good enough to send me. I feel very much gratified,...
