SUBSCRIBED
TO
THE
PAPERS
Ibid., I, 214. Jefferson offered counsel to Madison from time to time, but the third president's influence over the fourth has sometimes been exaggerated. See Roy J. Honeywell, “President Jefferson and His Successor,”
American Historical Review
46, no. 1 (October 1940): 64–75. They exchanged at least 39 letters in Madison's first year as president (Madison wrote 22, Jefferson 17), but the number dropped off as the years passed. Madison appears to have written Jefferson just eight times during the second term. The two men spoke personally when they could, of course, but such contact was necessarily limited by Madison's duties and Jefferson's decision to stay largely at home in retirement. (Ibid., 66.)
