James Madison to John W. Maury, 29 April 1833
Montpelier, April 29th, 1833
My dear Sir:
The mail has just brought us information, in one case under your own hand and name, that you have safely reached the land of your birth. I welcome you to it; and hope at an early day to welcome you at my own domicil, where I shall be able to express all the feelings awakened by your unexpected and gratifying visit. Meantime accept from Mrs. M. and myself all our best wishes.
James Madison
