961To James Madison from Paul Hamilton, 23 July 1810 (Madison Papers)
I enclose for your information copies of letters relating to another outrage on our Flag. Some of the Gun Boats on the Orleans station having become unfit for service, I judged it expedient to replace them by one of our most active brigs of a depth of draft convenient in the waters of that Territory. For this purpose the Vixen was selected, and it being necessary that, on that distant station,...

J. Madison presents his respects to Benjamin Homans, J. E. Smith, & William Blagrove, Esqrs. from whom he has received the copy of Mr. Lincoln’s Oration delivered on the 4th. of July; and returns his thanks for the polite attention, to which he is indebted for this opportunity of expressing the pleasure he has felt in perusing a performance equally distinguished for its polished eloquence, and...
964From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, [ca. 24 July] 1810 (Madison Papers)
Yours of the 13th. was duly recd. I have answer’d Bassette’s Enquiry on the ground you have been so good as to furnish. Whether the lamb from the Merino Ewe is to remain ours or not, I think no time should now be lost in sending for your share, the season being at hand when the Ewes will be in heat; and as care will be taken of the lambs whenever they may drop, it will be best that they should...

966From James Madison to John Graham, 25 July 1810 (Madison Papers)
The writer of the inclosed letter, sent ⟨me⟩ a long time ago, a most voluminous manuscript in French on the subject of F. & English grammer, with a wish that I might approve & patronize its publication. Having neither time nor competency to decide on the merits of the work, it was examined by a Critical judge on such subjects; who discouraged the experiment of printing it, tho’ he did justice...
967From James Madison to Horatio Gates Spafford, [ca. 25 July] 1810 (Madison Papers)
I have recd. your favor of July 7. accompanied by your printed circular on the subject of your proposed Gazetteer of the State of N. York. It is certainly a commendable undertaking, and I wish you success in it. An extension of it to all the States would proportionally extend the value of the Work. It is an inconveniency incident to publications of this kind in our Country, that its rapid...
968From James Madison to Elizabeth House Trist, 25 July 1810 (Madison Papers)
I recd. after my arrival here your favor of the 18th. The substance of Mrs. Jones’s letter had been previously sent ⟨to⟩ me by Dr. Bache, and I lost no time in forwarding it to Mr. Gallatin, whose disposition will doubtless concur with Mr. Duvall’s & mine, in consulting the interest & accomodation of your daughter, as far as may be permitted by fidelity to the public rights. This, it would be...
969To James Madison from James Monroe, 25 July 1810 (Madison Papers)
I wished to obtain an interview with Bizet before I answer’d your favor of the 16th., that I might communicate to you something decisive relative to its object. Owing to his engagments at some distance, and to an injury which he lately received in blowing a rock, I could not see him till today, when I explaind fully your wishes respecting his services. He seemed to be much gratified at the...
