James Madison Papers

From James Madison to Daniel Addis, 16 February 1807

To Daniel Addis

Department of State, February 16. 07.

Sir.

In answer to your letter of the 7th. I have to state that the public character of the Marquis of Casa Yrujo is so far unchanged, as to leave, to his Domestics and Domestic Servants, the privileges, which under certain limitations, they derive from that situation, by the law of nations, to their persons & their property. I am &c.

James Madison.
