James Madison to Littleton Dennis Teackle, February 28, 1834.

Teackle, L.D. Dr. Sir February 28, 34. I have duly recd your favor enclosing a copy of your plan for a "National Bank."

Having outlived the period within which I could venture on the task, of examining and appreciating, the comparative merits of each Institution, I must limit myself to the remark that the plan you have struck out argues a familiarity with the principles and modifiable materials of Banks, of which you have given other proofs

With my thanks for your politeness, I tender you my cordial respects & Salutations

J. M.
