Mr Hackley heretofore in the Consular service of the U.S. in Spain, is desirous of an appt. in E. Florida, which it seems to be understood, is soon to come within their jurisdiction. My personal acquaintance with Mr. H. is very limited. I can say with truth & with pleasure, nevertheless, that I have been led by it to a very favorable opinion not only of his agreeable manners but of his general...

346From James Madison to Robert Mackay, 20 February 1821 (Madison Papers)
I duly recd. yours of . The Mill saw was safely brought by the Waggoner. I am sorry to observe that it was not only without the usual holes for fixing it in the wooden frame; but had a flaw inward from the teeth near the middle of the saw, visible at the slightest glance. This defect is particularly unfortunate, as it requires a slackness in working the Saw, that loses both time & water, the...
347From James Madison to James Maury, 20 February 1821 (Madison Papers)
Your favor enclosing Act. Sales & invoice came safe to hand. The articles sent are liable to no objection except that some of them are rather of a superior sort & of course, price, than was in view. I have arranged with Mr. Mackay, the balance due from me so as [to] stand debited in his books for it. The sales of the Tobo. did not fully meet expectation. That of the best quality it was thought...

I offer you many thanks for the 1st. vol: of Memoirs published by your Agricultural Board. It contains a very valuable mass of instruction both Theoretical & Practical.
