1To James Madison from Caleb Wallace, 12 July 1785 (Madison Papers)
Having accommodated my Family in this remote quarter of the Country, I wish to renew a correspondence which was formerly pleasing to me and I trust no[t] disagreeable to you. Since I saw you last I have removed twice, first from Charlotte to Botetourt and then from there to Kentucky; this, with some vissisitudes of fortune & health have occasioned me to neglect for a while some of the...
2To James Madison from Caleb Wallace, 25 September 1785 (Madison Papers)
Two Days ago I received your favour of the 23. of August. Having only an Evening’s leisure after attending a very Strong Session of our Court for three Weeks to answer several of my Eastern Correspondents I only intend a short Line at present. In my Letter by Mr. Elijah Craig I believe I omitted particularly to inform you that last December a Deputy from the Several Militia Companies in this...

The unanimity of Sentiments that prevailed here a year ago in favour of a Seperation has since been...
5To James Madison from Caleb Wallace, 20 November 1786 (Madison Papers)
The Hurry of our Supreme Court forbids my now writing to you as fully as I wish to do. At present I only take the Liberty of observing, that alarmed with the multiplied Depredations committed by the Indians in this Quarter, our Militia embraced the Encouragement given by the Executive to carry on two Expeditions as the only likely Measure to disconcert the Combinations that a Number of the...
6To James Madison from Caleb Wallace, 12 November 1787 (Madison Papers)
For want of a safe conveyance, I omitted acknowledging your favour of the 5th. of January last until the Delegates from this Country should go to Richmond; but when the time came a bilious complaint prevented my improving the opportunity. Hearing you are expected home this Fall, I shall now employ a leisure hour in preparing an answer to forward by the first trusty hand I can meet with. I...
