From James Madison

     J. Madison presents his respects to Judge Washington and takes the liberty of sending him the inclosed papers left in his hands by <2m> Lewis the son of Mr F. Lewis, who did not live to apply for them. Should any other destination be proper, the Judge will be so obliging as to give it to the papers.
