TO JAMES MADISON.mad. mss.

Rich^d. Nov^r. 18, 1785.

Hon^D Sir,—

I rc^d y^rs by Capt. Barbour who I hope will enquire as to Turpin in the land office. I wish you rather to confide such business to friends coming here who can be relied on than to refer it to me. I am so little master of my time and the office is removed so far out of the way that I cannot be relied on. I will endeavor to get the Journals for you soon. The price of Tob^o forbids the sale of your Hhd. The Assembly have made some progress in the Revisal, and I hope will go thro’ it. Public cred^t seems to have more friends and paper money more adversaries than I had expected.—Delegates to Cong^s for 1786. R. H. Lee, W^m. Grayson J^s. Monroe, H. Lee Jr. Edw^d. Carrington Councilor Carter Bratton.

Y^r aff^e son

J. Madison Jr.
