I have made known to you of going on to Annopolis in the year 1800—and put a card into the Newspaper printerd at this city that brought out Judge Duvald to write essays which was inserted in all the Newspapers through the Unit States that was not in the federal interest as I am getting in years I think you should notiece me—and shall expet it at your death when it shall please the allmighty...
6942James Monroe to Thomas Jefferson, 14 April 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
I receivd with great pleasure your favor of the 29 of march , with a copy of one which you had sent to our friend m r Short , and should not be surprised, if the predictions containd in the latter, should be verified, by a rapid succession of events, proceeding from the mov’ment of the French government lately announcd in the Speech of the King . When it is recollected that he, his whole...
6943Robert Walsh to Thomas Jefferson, 14 April 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
You must not suppose, on seeing my handwriting that I mean to importune you. I would not consent that you should suffer any inconvenience like that to which you refer . The remainder of your brilliant and valuable life ought to be exempt from whatever is irksome, and arduous for the bodily powers. I trust and fervently hope that it will prove more considerable and easy than you seem to expect....
6944From John Adams to William Rotch, 13 April 1823 (Adams Papers)
I have received the letter you write me on the 10 April instant and I thank you for it because it gives me an opportunity of making an apology & that is none other than the one you have pointed out viz “old age bordering on second child hood” When I read those letters in the old Colony memorial I regretted those offensive passages & was sincerely glad that the editor had done you justice....

Your brother my Dear Charles is much better and his arm doing well though it will probably be a long time before it will be of any use to him. He is entirely without fever and his health in consequence of leaving off tobacco in all its forms is better than it has been a long time. Both his Surgeons have agreed that he is undermining and destroying his Constition which cannot support any...

6947From James Madison to John Adlum, 12 April 1823 (Madison Papers)
I recd some days ago the 2 Copies of your Memoir on the cultivation of the vine, with a bottle of your Tokay; and I have since recd. your letter enforcing the importance of making the Vineyard, an appurtenance to American farms.

6948To James Madison from James Taylor, 12 April 1823 (Madison Papers)
I did myself the honor to address a short letter to you about a month ago, in relation to some Horses I was about sending to Va. I think it probable you or Mr Todd, if he should be at home, may see Mr P. H Jones who took charge of them. Accounts from Va are rather unfavourable as to the prospect of good prices for Horses: but the disturbances in Europe may make money more plenty & cause a rise...
