TO JAMES MADISON.
MAD. MSS.
Richmond, Decr. 27, 1785.
HonD. Sir—Mr. Js. Davis has just handed your
favor of the 24. inst. It is too late to revise the proceedings
relative to the Trustees of Beverley. The
Act authorizes the Com̃ssrs who are to settle your
accounts to make a reasonable allowance for your
trouble. I cannot get a copy of the act without paying
the £10. Capt. P. Barbour will inform you of
Dean's answer to his application. He carried a letter
from me giving you an acct. of the latest proceedings
of the Assembly. Nothing of consequence has been
done since. It is uncertain when we shall rise. If
an opportunity should offer, I shall be glad of the
fresh butter at all events.
I am with best regards to ye family yr. afft. son.
