183244James Madison to Thomas S. Grimké, 6 January 1834 (Madison Papers)
Your letter of the 25th. of Augst. last was duly recd. and I must leave the delay of this acknowledgment of it to your indulgent explanation. I regret the delay itself less than the scanty supply of authographs requested from me. The truth is that my files have been so often resorted to on such occasions, within a few years past, that they have become quite barren, especially in the case of...

183248John Mercer to James Madison, 14 January 1834 (Madison Papers)
I will offer no other apology for troubling you with a letter exclusively concerning my own private affairs—than that it may afford you an occasion (which I am persuaded would give you pleasure) of rendering a service to the children of an old and sincerely attached friend, who although long since lost sight of by the public eye, may not have lost his place in your kind recollection My sister...

I have received your letter of the 14th inst. and am very sorry that I am unable to throw any light on the case of the legion and the services of your father in it.

Mrs M begs to be joined in the respects & best wishes offered to yourself...
