James Madison to Robert T. Paine, 19 February 1832
Montpellier Feby 19. 1832.
J. Madison presents his respects to Mr. Paine, with many thanks for the Copy of his very valuable "American Almanac," the scientific merit of which is recognized by the best Judges. The volume is made the more acceptable to the public, by the miscellaneous information comprized in it. He offers his thanks also for the accompanying pamphlets the names of whose Authors will be a sufficient invitation to a perusal of them as intermissions of his Rheumatic pains may permit
