James Madison to Nicholas P. Trist, 17 January 1832
Dear Sir
private
I regret that my memory can give you no aid in yr. search for the fact in question. It is possible that the Newspaper publishing the laws may have printed it soon as authorized; and may therefore be worth examining.
The letters you refer to were both recd. & I thank you for them. Cordial salutations
James Madison
RC (DLC: Nicholas P. Trist Papers).
