11From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 20 April 1818 (Madison Papers)

The only subscription to the lists I distributed is the inclosed one from Gen A. T. Mason. Is it worth while to avail ourselves of his solitary liberality in that distant quarter, which connects him so little with an institution as yet a...

I begin to be uneasy on the subject of Cooper. It will be a dreadful shock to him if...
