1Anthony Morris to Dolley Madison, 3 June 1823 (Madison Papers)
I had made up my Mind on my return from Spain never to trouble Mr. Madison even with the mention of any disappointmt in which the Mission his partiality conferd on Me had resulted from unforeseen circumstances; I kept my resolution, untill the acceptance of my modest position here, and I should invariably have adherd to it had not an intimation from the President to the Secy of State first...

The Books relative to unclaim’d dividends on the Stock of the U S. having been plac’d in my hands for the purpose of general revision—ascertainment of amounts due &c I have not thought it any deviation from the performance of a public duty, to inform you, that the Sum of about $150 remains on those Books to your Credit, forgotten I presume by You. The only objection to publicity that I have...

Knowing the interest you have always felt in every thing connected with Systems of Education, from the influence they necessarily have, as well on individual happiness, as on the future greatness, and true glory of the United States, I have taken the liberty to invite your attention, at some leisure hour, to some short sketches of the Fellenberg System presented in the American Farmer of the...
7To James Madison from Anthony Morris, 21 May 1827 (Madison Papers)
I cant deny myself the pleasure of forwarding you the letter of a distinguished octogenarian farmer & friend (whose hand writing you will recognize) on the subject of my last. My hopes of the introduction of Fellenberg Institutions in the U.S. are founded more on the force of such opinions, than on my individual exertions, tho’ these also will be encourag’d, should your views of those...
