From James Madison to Richard Cutts, 1 November 1826
To Richard Cutts
Montpr. Novr. 1. 1826
Dear Sir
I have recd. from Mr. Van Zandt a copy of his Bill in Chancery:1 of course known to you, and have answered the communicati⟨on⟩ by a letter a copy of which I have thought it proper to inclose you.2 The errors of fact which it corrects make me hope that I shall be rescued by the explanation from the disagreeable situation in which the Bill places me. With friendly wishes
James Madison
RC (MHi); draft (DLC).
