3103To John Adams from Charles Francis Adams, 26 March 1826 (Adams Papers)
"Who doth time gallop withal?" Instead of answering this as Shakespeare has done, I would say that it gallops with persons in the days of youth and pleasure without any great care to oppress them. Such I deem mine to be and such is the passage of time. It is hardly possible to keep the regular count of the weeks as they go, and to notice the revolution of months, which has already brought me...
3104From John Quincy Adams to Caroline Amelia Smith De Windt, 26 March 1826 (Adams Papers)
I return the enclosed letter according to your desire, painfully regretting, that I can not consistently with my sense of my duties, comply with the wish of the writer; and yours in his behalf.

My grandson Th: Jefferson Randolph, being on a visit to Boston, would think he had seen nothing were he to leave it without having seen you. altho’ I truly sympathise with you in the trouble these interruptions give, yet I must ask for him permission to pay to you his personal respects. like other young people, he wishes to be able, in the winter nights of old age, to recount to those around...
3106From James Madison to Andrew Stevenson, 25 March 1826 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. the copy of your late Speech kindly forwarded by you. I cannot say that I concur in all your views of the subject it discusses.

Will you pardon me for pointing out an error of fact into which you have fallen, as others have done, by supposing that the term national applied...

3108To Thomas Jefferson from George Loyall, 25 March 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
I am still in debt for your kind favor of the 22 d Ult mo , which reached me before my departure from Richmond. I intended and was anxious to reply to it, so soon as I could ascertain, whether or not, it would be in my power to attend the next meeting of the board of Visitors, of which, I saw, there was great doubt, from the protracted Session of the Legislature. Accumulating upon my hands...
3109From Thomas Jefferson to Henry Remsen, 25 March 1826 (Jefferson Papers)
My Grandson Th:J.R. the bearer of this letter, on a journey to the North will probably make some short stay in his passage thro’ N.
