443James Madison to William C. Rives, 21 October 1833 (Madison Papers)
Your favor of the 4th. was duly recd. I had not forgotton the intimation of which I am reminded by it, but unabating interuptions, added to my crippled health, had produced a delay which I could not avoid; and since I had notice of your return from the springs, the same causes have operated. I found also on the trial, more of tediousness in consulting documents and noting references, than was...

445James B. Longacre to James Madison, 14 October 1833 (Madison Papers)
It is entirely owing to circumstances apart from my own intentions, that I have deferred the pleasure it gives me to acknowledge the receipt of materials for a biographical sketch of yourself intended for the National Portrait Gallery furnished by a friend of your selection—The document thus furnished is very satisfactory, and leaves nothing to regret; but it’s brevity , a fault which we have...

447James Madison to David Weaver, 13 October 1833 (Madison Papers)
Since the receipt of your last Mr Brockman has made some enquiries respecting the disposal of the beeves and thinks there will be no difficulty in obtaining a purchaser. On the subject of the clover seed I will take the quantity mentioned in my letter of the 13th. of last month but expect it at the price of last year. The general demand of this neighbourhood renders it probable that a larger...
448George Tucker to James Madison, 13 October 1833 (Madison Papers)
If you have found time to look over the manuscript with which I ventured to trouble you in July, the return of Dr. Dunglison’s carriage offers a good opportunity of sending it to this place. If you would rather keep it longer, it is not important that I should receive it immediately. I have heard with great pleasure that your health has still further improved, and I propose, at the end of the...

450James Madison to Louisa M. Patton, 8 October 1833 (Madison Papers)
Your letter of the 3d. Septr. was duly recd. My acquaintance with the Grand father of your children, and my recollection of his worth, induce sincere wishes for their welfare. But the interposition you request in behalf of your son is precluded by a rule, I have found it necessary to adopt, and which has been adhered to in cases, some of them of a very pressing character. I can only therefore...
