James Madison Papers

Philip Pendleton Kennedy to James Madison, 22 November 1830

Baltimore. Nov. 22: 1830.

Sir,

I have taken the liberty as you will perceive from the package accompanying this letter, to send you a Pamphlet which I published about the 16th of October last, upon the doctrine of Nullification. I directed the Bookseller who had the distributing of it to send you one, which I have just been informed he neglected to do. Whereupon I now inclose you a copy, with the hope that you (the Magnus Apollo, of this doctrine I uphold), will find it interesting enough to yeild you some return for the time and trouble of reading it. yours with esteem

Philip Pendleton Kennedy.
