183223James Madison to Benjamin F. Pepoon, 18 May 1833 (Madison Papers)
private Your favour of the 13th ult: was duly recd. and I thank you for the communication— It cannot be doubted that the rapid growth of the individual States in population, wealth and power must tend to weaken the ties which bind them together.

I received in due course of the Mail your obliging letter of the 6t. Ulto. and was extremely happy in the inference, from observing one paragraph and the superscription in your hand writing, that your health was improved.
