682To James Madison from Noah Webster, 17 March 1826 (Madison Papers)
I have this day received a note from you, intended to correct a passage in a former letter to me on the subject of the first proposition made to the legislature of Virginia in 1785 for a convention of Commissioners to regulate the Commerce of the country. For this, please to accept my acknowledgements. By your letter, I perceive you suppose me to be yet in Europe. This is a mistake. I returned...

684From Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 8 August 1824 (Jefferson Papers)
I rec d yesterday a letter from mr Gilmer which I now inclose, as also a former one, which had only communicated his arrival at Liverpool. I add also a letter from mr Rush. so far his trust is going on well. I wish the suggestion of mr Brougham respecting Ivory may be found groundless. there is no mathematician in Gr. Britain who can rival him but Woodhouse professor of Mathematics at...

686To James Madison from Robert Mackay, 2 May 1822 (Madison Papers)
Your favour 24th. Ulto. was duly recd. and I have since been making inquiry respecting Merino Wool and find only one person here disposed to purchase, at something like 35 to 40 cents for unwashed & 45 to 50 cts ⅌ lb. for washed. I am however informed it will probably do much better in Boston, to which Port there are almost daily opportunities. Should you be disposed either to Sell or Ship I...
687To James Madison from Alexander Scott, 2 January 1820 (Madison Papers)
In addition to the acts of kindness heretofore received from you, it wou’d seem like imposing on benevolence to make any further request. Presuming however further on that benevolence, I once more take the liberty of soliciting your friendly assistance, promising at the same time that I shou’d be much distressed, were you to do any thing on my account, in the smallest degree repugnant to your...
688George Joy to James Madison, 22 June 1830 (Madison Papers)
It is long since I had the pleasure of addressing you, and still longer since I had that of hearing from you. The Time was when I should have troubled you with a long narrative of my political movements; but I have great repugnance to invading your repose:— otherwise I could have sent you half a Dozen folio Sheets of Correspondence with the Powers that be; in which you would recognize...

690To James Madison from Levett Harris, 31 October 1826 (Madison Papers)
After the several explanations furnished you in regard to Mr. Todd’s money transactions with me, I have delayed pressing upon him a final issue of it, in the hope (as he had left this City & repaired to New York for the express purpose of raising funds to satisfy it) that I should finally hear from him. Nearly a year has now elapsed since you were made acquainted with the merits of a claim,...
