Allow me to offer for your acceptance a pamphlet containing the proceedings of a board recently organized in N. York; to say that the hint in the opening of the address, was taken from one of your letters to me; to request the favor of you to present my remembrances to Mrs. Madison, and to assure her of my living remembrance of her, & her varied excellencies; and to assure you of my undiminished respect for your worth and your virtues. May your life be long, & healthful, & happy, is the wish of your sincere and grateful friend &c
