The period is now at hand when I intend retireing from the administration of this government. I did hope for the arrival of my successor by that time, but of this I begin now to despair.

Before I left Washington I was called upon by Col. Tousard, who had been charged by Fayette with explanations &c. to his friends.

18To 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.
