52971To James Madison from John Graham, 12 November 1806 (Madison Papers)
I had the Honor to receive your Letter of the 3d Inst, this morning, and have to request that the name of the Person mentioned therein may be forwarded to me at Washington Ky. for I apprehend that I do not read it accurately. I have taken every proper occasion to make enquiries as to the state of the Public Mind on this side the mountains, and it gives me pleasure to say, that the accounts I...
52972To James Madison from John Graham, 29 December 1802 (Madison Papers)
The last letter which I had the honor to address to you (on the 29th ulto.) will give a general idea of the state of our affairs, at the time when it was written. Since then, some events have taken place, with which it is proper that you should be acquainted, and as I am particularly anxious to give you every useful information in my power, I have determined to send you copies of the letters I...
52973To James Madison from John Graham, 31 July 1811 (Madison Papers)
The Packet for the Secretary ⟨o⟩f State containing the Letters which I supposed you would wish to read, is left open—and put under Cover to you. I have supposed that this would be the most convenient arrangment. Should you prefer any other you will be pleased to let me know. Mr Barlow left us yesterday intending to Lodge at Marlbro: and to get to Annapolis early today. We have furnished him...
52974To James Madison from John Graham, 16 September 1808 (Madison Papers)
I had the Honor to receive your Note directing me to desire Mr. Short to name the fund on which he would draw. I have written to him accordingly and sent a Copy of your note that he may decide whether it was intended that he should direct his answer to the Secretary of the Treasury at NewYork, or send it to me. In either case some little delay must take place probably long enough to give you...

52976To James Madison from John Graham, 12 May 1808 (Madison Papers)
I had the Honor of writing you a few lines by the Post Rider who left this on Tuesday last for Orange Court House, and to send you the Dispatches which had just then been received from Mr. Pinkney and Genl. Armstrong together with several Letters from other Persons of which I enclosed a List. Among the Letters which accompany this you will find two from Genl. Turreau. One of these you gave me...
52977John Graham to Thomas Jefferson, 28 June 1813 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the Honor some time since to receive a Letter from you , covering one for the Baroness de Staël-Hols t ein which you wished me to forward to Stockholm —at the time I received it I had hoped that I should be able to send it by mr Russell in a few days—and therefore delayed acknowledging the receipt of the Letter until I could have the pleasure of telling you that I had found so good a...
52978To James Madison from John Graham, 3 May 1805 (Madison Papers)
Finding that Mr Coburn of this State has been very strongly recommended to the President as one of the Judges for the Territory of Orleans, & that in the Recommendations given him, no notice has been taken of his Knowledge of the French Language, I venture, at his request, to state to you, that he reads that Language with great facility—at present he does not speak it; tho he tells me he...
52979To James Madison from John Graham, 3 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
I received the enclosed Letter, from Mr Monroe this Morning. He directed that it should be shewn to Mr G Graham in the War Dept and then transmitted to you. Mr Coles left this for Boston this Morning. I have reason to think the vessel which is to take him to Europe, will not be ready sail when he gets to Boston. I received yesterday from Mr Gelston the Letter from the Dey of Algiers, without a...
52980To James Madison from John Graham, 15 August 1810 (Madison Papers)
I am much mortified that my Letter of the 13th Inst: and more particularly, that the Papers which were under cover with it did not go on by the Mail of that day. I had sent to the Post office to let them know that we were preparing Despatches for you and the Governor of the Mississippi Territory and to enquire when the Mail would close. I expected that they would of course detain the Mail if...
