12To James Madison from Thomas Jefferson, [ca. 18 May] 1792 (Madison Papers)

15To James Madison from Thomas Jefferson, 3 January 1808 (Madison Papers)
I think we were under impressions last night which the papers did not justify. No single act was specified as a cause of complaint. No obstacle was stated to have been opposed to Mr. Rose’s landing & coming on. What we did, was well, but I doubt the expediency of sending a vessel. It might shew too much empressement to gratify punctilios not explained to us. These thoughts are merely for...

17To James Madison from Thomas Jefferson, 24 August 1807 (Madison Papers)

Will you be so good as to order a new commission, &...

19To James Madison from Thomas Jefferson, 1 February 1807 (Madison Papers)
The more I consider the letter of our Ministers in London the more seriously it impresses me. I believe the sine qua non we made is that of the nation, and that they would rather go on without a treaty than with one which does not settle this article. Under this dilemma, and at this stage of the business, had we not better take the advice of the Senate? I ask a meeting at 11. oclock tomorrow...
