To James Madison from David Montagu Erskine, 27 May 1807

Private

Dear Sir

New York, May 27. 1807

I beg leave to thank you for your obliging letter of the 20th. Inst., but as the Packet of next month will sail soon from this place, I will not trouble you with any Letters to go by the Wasp

I am still in the dark as to the real state of things in England; but I expect the April Packet every hour. It seems certain that Buonaparte has met with more resistance than he expected, tho’ his exertions redouble with his difficulties. Mrs. Erskine joins [me] in best Respects to Mrs. Madison. With great Esteem & Regard I remain Dr. Sir Your’s Faithfully
