Writings of James Madison, Volume 3
Contents:
To Robert Lewis.
MONTPELLIER, November 10, 1824.
DEAR SIR,—Mr. Myers duly delivered your letter of the 8th, conveying to me the invitation of the "Joint Committee of the Common Hall and citizens of Fredericksburg" to be with them at a dinner to be given to General La Fayette.
Uniting with the Common Hall and Citizens in all their grateful sentiments towards General La Fayette, it would afford me much pleasure to unite, also, in the proposed festive manifestation of them. Several circumstances, however, concur in putting this out of my power. I can only, therefore, return my best thanks for the mark of kind attention I have received, and enjoy the opportunities within my reach of taking part in the offerings of gratitude to a champion of Liberty and national benefactor, whom every American Citizen delights to honor.
Be pleased to accept, sir, the acknowledgments I owe for your expressions of personal regard, and be assured of my sincere esteem and my friendly wishes.
