1Charles J. Ingersoll to James Madison, 21 July 1829 (Madison Papers)
I have offered this letter of introduction to you to Count Ney son of the Marshal of that glorious name with whose renown you are familiar—In addition to the associations suggested by it you will find in the bearer a most intelligent, unassuming and interesting young man whom I have ventured to promise at your house the cordial hospitality of American country life dispensed by the patriarch of...
2Charles J. Ingersoll to James Madison, 26 December 1829 (Madison Papers)
No one hereabouts seems able to explain satisfactorily a matter of early practice under the present federal government—for which I hope you will allow me to apply to you. In Genl Hamilton’s letter of the 4 August 1793, a circular, to the Collectors, 1. Vol. of Waite’s State Papers page 45, 6, in Mr. Jefferson’s letter of 30 June 1793, same Vol. p. 112,13, Mr. Jefferson’s letter dated 5 Sep...

4Charles J. Ingersoll to James Madison, 21 January 1831 (Madison Papers)
Serving as a Member of the Legislature here my attention is much called to the subject of banks always in great numbers urging for acts of incorporation. In the Federalist No. 44 your judgment is pronounced I may say with uncommon force against all state contrivances to make currency, and my impression has always been that whether they consist of coin or paper the province altogether and...
5Charles J. Ingersoll to James Madison, 16 November 1831 (Madison Papers)
If the topics treated in the Address herewith are dealt with so as to meet your approbation it will be to my mind one of the surest proofs of their force. That you wi[ll] not condemn the calm and forbearing temper of the argument I feel confident I by no means despair yet of the pleasure so long promised myself of visiting you at Montpellier, but thus far one prevention or other has always...
6Charles J. Ingersoll to James Madison, 13 August 1834 (Madison Papers)
My eldest son Charles, the bearer of this letter, in coming to visit the Springs of Virginia, is unwilling to pass within any reasonable distance of your house without calling to have the pleasure of paying his respects to you & Mrs. Madison—I understood lately from Governor Coles that your health is much restored. I heartily wish it may be such as to enable you to enjoy your accustomed life,...
7Charles J. Ingersoll to James Madison, 27 January 1835 (Madison Papers)
Since my son wrote to me last summer after enjoying as he said the delightful presence of the magnificent old democrat of Montpellier, tho’ I have not had the happiness of any direct communication, yet I have constantly heard thro’ Gov. Gales of your situation and health—always, from every body, that your bouayant spirits are undiminished and your conversation what it always has been. Allow me...
8Charles J. Ingersoll to James Madison, 28 April 1836 (Madison Papers)
I have come thus far with a design long cherished to afford myself the gratification of paying you and Mrs. Madison a visit at Montpellier. Our friend Gov. Coles on whom I called for the purpose before leaving Philadelphia has apprised me of the way. I find here that the steamboat for Fredericksburg leaves Washington every morning at six oclock which will enable me I understand to reach Orange...
9Charles J. Ingersoll to James Madison, 9 May 1836 (Madison Papers)
I feel it to be my first and most grateful duty on my return from the delightful pilgrimage to the shrine of Montpelier to enquire after your health & welfare which I hope Mrs. Madison or Miss Payne may be good enough to write a line to inform me of without troubling you. It has given no little poignancy to the great regret I experienced at being obliged to leave your residence to attend to...
