James Madison to Robert Y. Hayne, 18 February 1832
Montpellier Feby. 18th. 1832.
James Madison presents his acknowledgements to Genl. Hayne for the Copy of his speech politely enclosed to him.
However dissenting from views of the subject embraced in it, he cheerfully joins in the tribute due to the characteristic eloquence and ability of its Author.
Fuller views subsequently taken on the subject of this letter it is supposed render its publication unnecessary.
