3992To James Madison from John O. Lay, 9 July 1825 (Madison Papers)
I enclosed you on the 5th. inst. a Certificate for $548.11 deposited to your credit. The 2 Hhds. No. 9 & 10 are at SeaBrooks Ware House and will be opened in course of the ensuing week. Having no Receipt for them I was under the impression they had not come in when I sold the others, but on reference to Mr. Eddins Letters I find he mentions them. Could I have anticipated the present state of...
3993From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, 9 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I was glad to recieve your letter of yesterday, altho’ I assure you it was not necessary to counteract any misrepresentations to your prejudice. having always abstained from all intermedling or enquiry into your affairs no one could have a motive for saying any thing about them to me. I thought indeed I sometimes my self observed symptoms of your being under difficulties, which I supposed had...
3994From Thomas Jefferson to Robley Dunglison, 8 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I find I had been too sanguine in believing that my complaint was wearing off. the symptoms within 2. or 3. days past have returned with force. I must again ask your assistance and in the express hope that it will be kindly yielded on the condn in my last letter that the same remunern will be taken as in other cases. ViU .
3995To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, 8 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I feel a strong conviction that it is necessary I should make this endeavour to counteract the misrepresentations made to you every opportunity of my words and actions, of my feelings towards others and theirs for me; with respect to all of which the truth has but seldom reached you since the begining of the year 1815. From that period the 26 th year of the close alliance between us we have...
3996From James Madison to John H. Smith, 7 July 1825 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. yours of June 27th with a copy of Proposals, for publishing a Weekly agricultural paper at Richd. The object you have in view is so laudable, that I can not refuse to be a subscriber. It is so much my wish however to reduce rather than multiply engagements of that sort, which require attentions becoming every day more & more inconvenient, that you must excuse me for desiring it to...
3997From Thomas Jefferson to Daniel Raymond, 7 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 3 d was recieved yesterday. in our University the science of Political economy is ascribed to the school of law and civil polity. the chair of that school is not yet filled; and as the choice of their text books is left to the several professors, it follows that no such choice can have been made, nor the least foundation given for naming any particular book. be pleased to...
3998To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Sewall, 7 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
Though not Known to you except by a letter from D r Mitchill of N. York which I enclosed to you five or six years since & to which I received a friendly answer, I take the liberty of asking your attention for a few moments to a Subject with which I am at present occupied. In an introductory lecture which I recently delivered at the opening of the Medical School in this city, I attempted to...
3999To Thomas Jefferson from John Henry Sherburne, 7 July 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
I have had the honor duly to receive your much esteemed favor of the 2 d inst. , which has caused me some painful feelings, but I pray you to accept my most grateful acknowledgements for the information which you have been pleased to give me. I will state to you as briefly as possible in what manner I came by the painting herewith enclosed, Commodore Dale of Philadelphia (who was with Com:...
4000From James Madison to Elisha Callender, 6 July 1825 (Madison Papers)
The last of yr. letters dated June 12. came to hand but a few days ago. You are very kind in taking so indulgent a view of my neglect, to answer preceding ones; for which I could offer several excuses which imply no want of due respect for the friendliness of your communications. In truth I have advanced to a period of life which obliges me to practice much economy in the use of the pen, and...
