Same letter, only this one is from the online library site for the Writings of James Madison edited by Guillard Hunt and published in 1900. Scroll down towards the bottom and you'll find it there. Is this a better source? Does it meet with your strict qualifications? Do you still think that I'm making it up?

Sorry. You can't convince me that the recipient of a letter who insists on using a nom de plume [but they supposedly found who it was anyway] had an undated, unsigned letter that specified it not be published [moral turpitude, anyone?] can constitute any kind of evidence.

Besides...did you ever see a Madison correspondence that DID NOT have both a date and a signature?

So you blame sloppy work on the part of Hunt when he edited Madison's writings into a 9 volume collection? Are you suggesting none of the letters in the collection are Madison's? Or just the ones that disagree with you?
