Dear Ms. Tyler,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
A transcription of the document you are seeking may be available as part of the Papers of James Madison available through Founders Online. In 2010, the National Archives, through its National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), entered into a cooperative agreement with The University of Virginia Press to create this site and make freely available online the historical documents of the Founders of the United States of America. Through this website, you can read and search through thousands of records from George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison.Many of the original documents from these papers are in the custody of the Library of Congress as part of the collection James Madison Papers, 1723 to 1859, and scans of some of these documents may be viewed online through their website. For questions about these records, please contact the Library of Congress using their Ask a Librarian Service.
You may also wish to contact the Papers of James Madison project. In addition, the staff at Montpelier may be able to offer advice regarding researching James Madison’s correspondence and writings.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
