James Madison Papers

From James Madison to John Armstrong, 10 December 1806 [letter not found]

To John Armstrong, 10 December 1806 [letter not found]

¶ To John Armstrong. Letter not found. 10 December 1806. Acknowledged in Armstrong to JM, 15 Feb. 1807. Armstrong to JM, 29 Mar. 1807, seems to imply that JM’s 10 December letter may have transmitted orders from Jefferson conferring “new Authority” on Armstrong, but the second copy of 29 March makes that interpretation even less clear.
