To James Madison from the Right Reverend James Madison, 8 April 1804
From the Right Reverend James Madison
Apl. 8h. 1804 Williamsburg
My dear Sir,
This new Bank has excited no small Bustle, among some whose Calculations of future Profit run pretty high; perhaps, indeed, higher than the Event will justify. I confess that I am among the Number, & am engaged, in full Sail, for this Eldorado. You must not be surprized then, that I should write to you again upon the Subject of the 500$.1 I find now, that it will be perfectly convenient to receive th. Amount in Bank Notes; & therefore, if you have taken no Steps, in Consequence of my former Letter, I will beg the Favr. of you to forward the Notes to this Place. Beleive me to be, my dear Sir, Yr Affe. Friend
J Madison
The Notes will come safe by the Post, particularly, if covered like a small Packet.
RC (DLC).
