1161James Madison to James Monroe, 20 August 1830 (Madison Papers)
Yours of the 15th. was brought to me from the post=office, Mr. Watson having passed on without calling as you expected him to do.

My health was again interrupted whilst I was at University, and I am yet not...

1163Margaret H. Smith to James Madison, 20 August 1830 (Madison Papers)
Shall I dear Sir, appologise for intruding uninvited on your notice? I know I need not.

The recollections , of the personal acquaintance &...
1164Jonathan Elliot to James Madison, 19 August 1830 (Madison Papers)
Your friendly favor of the 7th. ult was duly recd. In the compilation of the work on the Constitution I am fully sensible of the imperfection of many of the materials, and the barrenness of the field at this remote period, since the question of adoption was agitated; but you will perceive I have been reluctantly obliged to embody matter, evidently written with a "bias" I have strong reason to...
1165James Madison to John King, 17 August 1830 (Madison Papers)
I recd. by yesterdays mail your letter of the 14th. and am sorry I can not aid in satisfying the enquiry it makes concerning Genl. Thomas Bullett. I recollect that in the year 1775.

Of the time of his death & whether he...

Young Mr Watson who has been with us, since the vacation, and will call on you on his return home, will give you information of the state of my health, & of that of my family.

1168John King to James Madison, 14 August 1830 (Madison Papers)
Not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with you nor the advantage of an epistolary introduction by a friend I must therefore beg pardon for the liberty taken by a stranger for this abrupt obtrusion of himself & his business. Suffice it to observe that from recent acts of congress making provision for the payment of Officers & soldiers of the revolutionary War, The heirs of Col....
1169James Madison to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, 11 August 1830 (Madison Papers)
I recd yesterday yrs. of the 3d inst. inclosing a letter from Mr. Crozet, which I return. It wd. seem not amiss for your answer, to permit him to make enquiries of his brother, but without authorizing any expectation that might not be fulfilled, I enclose also a letter from Mr. Hervé, in whose favor I find Mr. Cabell has transmitted you a copy of a letter from Chevalie with that of another...
