To Alexander Garrett
Montpellier Jany. 17. 1827
Dear Sir
I return the check in yours of the 11th. filled with the sum of $12.000, as proposed, and with the sanction of the Rector. If it be the practice to prefix “approved” before the signature, be so obliging as to supply the omission. With great respect
James Madison
