21From James Madison to John Graham, [ca. 14 January 1817] (Madison Papers)
If the ports blockaded be not within the possessions of the B. E. I. Company, a representation on the subject to the B. Govt. will be proper thro’ Mr. Adams, or Mr. Bagot. RC ( DNA : RG 59, ML ). Undated; conjectural date assigned based on John Graham to JM , ca. 13 Jan. 1817 , at the bottom of which JM wrote this reply.
