Manuscript constituting a fragment of a draft of an untitled address by James Madison. Seemingly missing an initial page or pages; starts midway, discussing issues of national security, peace, and ensuring comfort to the nation's citizens. Beneath the notes is written in another hand: "Written by President Monroe;" yet another hand adds: "Wilmington Answer to the Address."
