James Madison Papers

To James Madison from Joel Barlow, 18 September 1806 (Abstract)

From Joel Barlow, 18 September 1806 (Abstract)

§ From Joel Barlow. 18 September 1806, Ballston Springs. “The enclosed letter from William Lee is to ask leave of absence to come to the U. S. for a few months.1 It has been a long time arriving. If his request should be granted I know it would oblige him very much to have the answer dispatched as soon as convenient, & if not too much trouble, by duplicate, as many letters miscarry.”

RC (DNA: RG 59, ML). 1 p. For enclosure, see n. 1.

1This was probably a second copy of Lee to JM, 26 June 1806. For JM’s answer, see his 1 Sept. 1806 letter to Lee.
