3To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 28 January 1808 (Madison Papers)
The President’s message in answer to the call of the House respecting Genl Wilkinson has condescended to notice me. It is expressed in such a manner as not to leave it altogether certain, whether it does not hold me accountable for a bundle of Mr. Clark’s papers, before the public. On the one hand I place a value upon a good name, and on the other am elevated above much anxiety, by the...
4To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 1 November 1802 (Madison Papers)
Your favor of the 26th. has found me here, on my way to Washington. I shall spend but a few days before I proceed thither, in the hope that I may be enabled to render such further services in my former station, as may be acceptable to you. With sentiments of the highest respect and attachment, I remain, Dr. sir, Your most humble servt. RC ( DLC ). Docketed by JM. Letter not found. Wagner had...
5To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 27 August 1805 (Madison Papers)
Be pleased to sign and return to me the enclosed letters for the Secretary of the Treasury. I enclose a letter, which as it appears to be addressed in the handwriting of your overseer, I have not opened. Mr. Duffield has resigned the commission of Judge of Orleans Territory on account of the effect of the climate upon his health. I have enclosed the resignation to the President. A short time...
6To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 9 October 1805 (Madison Papers)
I have received your favor of the 5th. and now enclose the papers accumulated since I suspended communicating them. The two enclosures with Mr. Monroe’s letter of 6 Augt. were not received with the copy you have read. I have sent to Genl. Smith the extract from Blakeley’s letter marked by crotchets, that the fraud may be repelled. The answer to Messrs. McKims’ complaint may perhaps be a...
7To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 28 August 1805 (Madison Papers)
I have the honor to enclose drafts of letters to Mr. Prevost & to Governor Claiborne. It is so improbable that it will be found of importance to convene the Legislative Council of Orleans before November, and that thus the erroneous opinion of Govr. Claiborne will stand in need of correction, that I doubt the necessity of answering his letter: if you should suppress the draft, be pleased to...
8To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 16 September 1805 (Madison Papers)
I have been honored with your’s of the 13th. from Gray’s, where I am happy you have secured a safe and agreeable retreat. I had kept a copy of your letter to Genl. Turreau. I think it adviseable to publish the list of bills drawn by Genl. Armstrong, because it will convey useful information to the claimants, will free us from the trouble of answering numerous enquiries, and it is not too...
9Jacob Wagner to John Stephen, 14 September 1806 (Abstract) (Madison Papers)
§ Jacob Wagner to John Stephen. 14 September 1806, Department of State. “Some time past, Genl. Turreau the French Minister wrote a letter to the Secretary of State, complaining that by the tardiness in taking effectual steps against the persons concerned in the outrage against a French Privateer, mentioned in the Secretary’s letter of the 19 July, one of the Vessels, charged with having...
10To James Madison from Jacob Wagner, 30 March 1802 (Madison Papers)
I beg your excuse for the liberty I take in covering the two enclosed letters to your address. Since I have been here I have had the injudicious medical treatment I sustained at Washington corrected; and by the change of air and use of exercise there is a flattering expectation of my being restored to even better health than I formerly had. It is at present faulty only in the appetite, which...
