These problems were complicated by the British war depredations there. Pendleton frequently raised this issue…

Madison, William, 1762-1843

Autograph letter signed

Title: to James Madison

Writes to his brother, then a Virginia congressman, about advocating for Madison's resolutions (in favor of a policy of commercial retaliation against European powers) in an election.

Also discusses the growing unpopularity of the excise tax and urges its repeal.…
