To James Madison from William Hull, 26 July 1807

Sir	Detroit 26th. July: 1807.

A Contemptible faction here influenced by a Number of British Subjects, are opposing [ev]ery measure of Government, and I have this moment been informed, have sent a represen[t]ation to the President. It is here viewed with so much Contempt that no measures [h]ave been taken to counteract it.

All I request, at present is, that no unfavorable opinion may be formed, until the true [s]tate of things are made known

I am sorry to communicate, that the Secretary of the Territory, and the Receiver of public Monies associate with these people I am very Respectfully Your Most Obedient Servant

William Hull.
