From James Madison to Edward Coles, 25 February 1827
To Edward Coles
Montpr. Feby. 25. 1827
Dear Sir
Tho’ desirous of reducing the number of my literary subscriptions which had swoln to an inconvenient amount, I was tempted by the Review about to appear (March 1.) under the auspices of Mr. Walsh1 to have my name put on the list. As I find by your letter that you will certainly be in Phila. I trouble you with the inclosed note $10. five of which you will oblige my [sic] by applying in discharge of that engagement: with the remaining five be so good as to pay my subscription to the National Gazette, taking a rect. for the year ensuing the last payment. I have nothing to add at present but the affectionate regards, of which you need not be assured
