1From John Graham to Col. Josiah Quincy, 29 February 1808 (Madison Papers)
May I be permitted to enquire whether the Committee of which you are the Chairman wish a Report from this office in reply to your Letter of the 13th. Inst. We had made some Progress in it when the last Information was received from Algiers, which led to a beleif that it might not be wanted. It was in consequence laid aside to give place to some more urgent business; but if you wish it, it will...
2To James Madison from John Graham, 9 October 1813 (Madison Papers)
The inclosed Letters were received this Morning. As they relate to an interesting subject and one that may require immediate attention I have thought it my Duty to forward them to you, without waiting for the return of the Secretary of State. You will of course receive by this Mail from the war office, the official Report of our having got possession of Malden which was abandoned by the Enemy....

6To James Madison from John Graham, 13 September 1811 (Madison Papers)
I should have answered by the last Mail, the Letter you did me the Honor to write me, expressing a hope that my Health was returning; had I not been so sick on the day of its departure that I could not sit up. In consequence of a powerful dose of medicine, I am some what better, and have begun again to take Bark tho: I very much doubt whether my Stomach is properly prepared for it. The City is...
7To James Madison from John Graham, 19 August 1808 (Madison Papers)
I had the pleasure to receive this Morning your Letter of the 16th. covering the Bill drawn on you by Mr Rogers.

I consider it therefore as unnecessary in this case to send your Letter to the Secy of the Treasury for your Signature. I shall however send you such Letters in future when I have occasion to...

I had the Honor to receive your Note directing me to desire Mr. Short to name the fund on which he would draw. I have written to him accordingly and sent a Copy of your note that he may decide whether it was intended that he should direct his answer to the Secretary of the Treasury at NewYork, or send it to me. In either case some little delay must take place probably long enough to give you...
