Col. Meredith --- You know very well Sir that I did interest myself very much in Anderson’s Affair agt. [against] you & that I did not attend - constantly at the Council Board as a Lawyer, but attended to serve in that case. You must recollect you promis -ed me a large Fee for the extra Trouble & in case Mr. Anderson should fail in his Designs to ruin yr. [your] Character. Now you must know the £12- is far short of what you gave me a right to expect. I have left that Blank on my Books. I am sir Yr. obedient servant P. Henry
Gift of Mr. James N. Boyd '58 and Mr. J. P. McGuire Boyd '64.
…before the Governor and Council; as also in the action you brot. [brought] agt. [against] him 2.12.6 for fee of tax, also 16/3 fee & tax in suit Stewart Jas. [James] Watts & your -self. I find 2 payments of £9- each, 1 of £12- 1of £4. I suppose to Nelsons Debt - & that I paid H. Robinson ball.a [balance] of mine my fathers Bond to Tompkins £14.19.8 - Besides another paymt. [payment] to him of 30 - on same accot. [account] but only says for Bond to Tompkins assigned by Hawkins, but not for whole use H. Robinson recd. [received] it - Further, I had a deed executed to me by my Father the pay -ment of all sums I had paid or stood bound for him - That Deed I now have, but & it includes his whole Estate, but after his death upon casting up my accounts & no further Claims appraising I have given it up to my mother & since her Death, her Legalees have got it entirely - I recd. [received] nothing under my Father or Mothers Will - Judge then upon the whole of this Matter whether it is right for you to call upon me to pay any part of this Security -
as expedient in themselves or due to the characters & numbers who think them so. As to the mode of obtaining amendments, I have not changed my opinion that the business ought to be taken up by the first Congress which is to meet in March next. It is plain that the object can be attained in that mode more steadily, more certainly, more cheaply, and with less danger or the apprehension of it, than by the an adherence to the case of a general convention to which an any States with not consent which could not take place until 2/3 have applied if that proportion were ready to consent, and which would spread a general alarm if convened in the present fer- ment of parties. It is to be observed however that the question for calling a convention rally in no respect depend on the discretion of the Congress or either branch of it. If a sufficient number of states make application, Congress cannot refuse to call one; if not they have no right to do so. The great objection propagated agst. [against] my pretensions is, I find, that I think the constitution perfect as it stands, & that no al- -teration of a single clause ought to be admitted. As a very pointed contra -diction to such a supposition. I have, besides explaining my present state -ments as above, mentioned the circumstances now & then. That I was an unsuccessful candidate in the federal convention for several of the very amendments which are now signed by this and other States. Being under the necesty. [necessity] of drafting these lines in much haste. I must request you to ex -mine the marks of it, as well as to be persuaded of the esteem & regard. with which I am dear Sir. Yr. [Your] friend & Obedt. [Obedient] Sert. [Servant] Js. Madison [V] I have written to sundry persons per this situation both out of this county & in it. [[away]] the letter I have included capt. Js.

W. Fontainer Jan. 13th 1789 Dear Sir In attending yesterday at your Court House I had chiefly in view an opportunity of seeing several of my friends and particularly your- self. I wished to furnish them with the real sentiment by which I shall be governed, if honored with the trust for which I am a candidate, & enable them by that means to contradict more effectively the false opi -nion ascribed to me by report. Being disappointed in the expected pleasures, I shall in a few words state to you the grounds in which my services are offered, and of which I have endeavored to make known as far as occasions have presented themselves. The Constitution being now ratified by a sufficient number of states to secure it against the weight of the refusing States, I think it proper that it should be so revised and amended as will make it satisfactory to all who sincerely aim at the good of their Country, without altering however any of its partial or useful parts. I think particularly that effectual revision ought to be made for the great rights which have been thought in danger, such as the rights of conscience, the freedom of the press, trials by jury, security against genl. [general] warrants etetr. [etcetera]. It has always been my opinion that it would be additional advantage also to make the increase of the House of Representatives a Constitutional regula -tion, instead of being left to the discretion of the govt. [government] itself. I am fur -ther of opinion that it will be proper to guard against a possible abuse of power in the Judiciary Department, by an excess prohibition of ap -peals in cases where they would be vexatious or superfluous In many other particulars it is my wish that alterations should be made either as [[right margin]] Maddison 228 Monroe 124 4 voted in 2 counties [[/right margin]] [[most likely a different author for this section]]
This resource consists of two digital scans of three lottery tickets, front and back. Each ticket has its own unique identifying number (handwritten), a typed paragraph that is the same for each ticket, and then the name of the ticket seller (handwritten). On the back of each ticket is a handwritten note that while mostly illegible, includes the name of the ticket buyers.
