Thomas Law to James Madison, Feb. 1

In the accompanying Letters I have used my endeavors to be perspicuous, forcible & concise, without omitting any very essential argument to ensure the establishment of a national currency, an all important desideratum which I should rejoice to see effected before you close your political Career—

I have never intruded but for public useful purposes—When it was proposed to make Treasury notes convertible into 8 PrCent Stock, & it ultimately was decided to make a seven PrCt Stock, I could not resist the impulse to solicit your rejection of the Bill to save a considerable loss to the nation—

When you shall retire from your present elevated station to enjoy the pleasing consciousness of having been a cordial friend & a faithful servant to this Republican federative Government you will have the sincere wishes for an exemption from sickness & disquietude of  Yrs with unfeigned esteem
