53062To James Madison from John Graham, 28 November 1802 (Madison Papers)
It is with Regret I call your attention to an affair which concerns myself as an Individual; but the Circumstances which I am about to mention will I hope plead my Apology for doing so. When Mr Pinckney had presented me to His Catholic Majesty as Chargé des affaires of the United States and was himself about to depart for Italy, I asked him to give me a credit with his Banker, for my Salary...
53063To James Madison from John Graham, 11 May 1807 (Madison Papers)
I arrived here yesterday after a passage of eighteen days from New Orleans. I came in the same Vessel with Genl Wilkinson who has brought round with him, some eight or nine of Burrs Men under an expectation that they will be important Witnesses. Some of them will probably tell all they know, but I fear this will not be the case with those who know most. The General has chartered a Pilot Boat...
53064To James Madison from John Graham, 9 September 1808 (Madison Papers)
I had the Honor to receive your Letter of the 6th. Inst. and the Papers which it covered. The Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury enabled me to take up Mr Lears Bill which had been protested but not returned to the owners. I have forwarded the Certificate to Mr. Magdalena and made to Mr Dallas the request you pointed out. I apprehend there will be no great difficulty in getting a Person to...
53065To James Madison from John Graham, 5 March 1807 (Madison Papers)
I arrived here a few days ago, after a very tedious passage from Natchez. If I am permitted to form an Opinion, from what I hear, the Situation of this Country is indeed an unpleasant one. All danger, however, I hope has passed away—but it has left the People here split up into various Parties, I had almost said Factions for so warm have they been, that a difference of Opinion is not...

53067To James Madison from John Graham, 1 August 1808 (Madison Papers)
You will see it stated in the Mercantile Advertiser of New York that the Ship Thalia has brought Dispatches from Mr. Pinkny I therefore think it necessary to advise you that these Dispatches have not as yet reached the Department. It is probably they may come on to Night and if so I shall forward them by the Post Rider tomorrow. From a Norfolk Paper which I have just seen it appears that a...
53068To James Madison from John Graham, 20 September 1808 (Madison Papers)
No Letters having been received from the President or yourself last Night, I have this day forwarded the necessary Instructions for the departure of the Dispatch vessel. I have been so much taken up with this Business that I have not had time to read the Dispatches received last Night from Mr. Erving therefore it is that some of his Packets go to you by this Mail unopened. With Sentiments of...
