3To James Madison from James Monroe, [ca. 6 December 1816] (Madison Papers)
I saw Mr Bishop this morning, on the subject of his late letter to me, communicated to Mr Crawford. I told him that no opinion had been formd against him, & that the representation to his prejudice, which had been made to the dept. of the Treasury, & sent to him by Mr Crawford, had been sent to him, in a spirit of candour, to enable him to give such explanation, as he might think proper: that...

I saw Mr de Neuville to day and explaind the cause, why, the article was not sent to the press. He was satisfied. I had mistaken his motive, in suggesting to me, his intention in writing another note. It was not, to press former demands or, relinquish them, but, leaving things where they were, to conciliate. If he writes any thing he will shew it to me, before making it official, as I have...
5To James Madison from James Monroe, 20 September 1816 (Madison Papers)
I send you a very interesting & indeed important Letter from Col: Jessup. Having this moment receivd it, I have not time to make any comment on it, especially as I have Cols: Barbour & Lindsay with me, as also Mr Monterey who lately left you—very respectfully yrs. I have positive information that an attack is contemplated by the Spaniards on this City during the present Season. The Spanish...
6To James Madison from James Monroe, 19 September 1816 (Madison Papers)
I send many letters recd. by this mail in favor of Mr Beaseley, which I have not had time to peruse. On the subject of the marshall to be appointed at New York, I shall direct, by next mail, a blank comn. to be forwarded to you, and it is probable I may be with you, by the time it arrives, as I shall leave this, according to present prospects, then, for your house on my way to Washington, to...
7To James Madison from James Monroe, 10 September 1816 (Madison Papers)
I now enclose you a project of a letter to ct. Nesselrode, on the subject of Mr Kosloff, with a short one to Mr Daschkoff, putting it under his last. You seemd to think that it wod. be best, to answer Daschkoffs letter, by one to his superior, in which, I entirely concur. In that case, the more concise the letter to Daschkoff the better. It will of course go sealed, I mean that to Ct....
8To James Madison from James Monroe, 4 September 1816 (Madison Papers)
I send you a Sketch of a reply to the French minister, subject to your correction, to be forwarded afterwards to Mr Graham. If the affr. is discussd with him, there will be no end to it, & we shall lose ground in every step. He must I think be a little alarm’d by adverting to the fate of Jackson, and Genet. Unless some tone is taken, all hope of indemnity is lost. I infer from yours, that this...
9To James Madison from James Monroe, 31 August 1816 (Madison Papers)
Owing to some accident I did not receive your letter of the 28. untill after Mr Rush left me, which I much regret, as it deprivd me of the opportunity, of conferring with him, on the answers to be given to those of the French & Russian ministers, which accompanied it. I am astonished at the contents of both, as they put us to trials, which, if either of them had good sense or moderation would...

The Spanish officer to whom the enclosed papers relate, having obtaind an interview, presented them, and pressed most earnestly for such aid, or countenance, as would enable him to obtain it of individuals, as their present exigencies requird. He wanted particularly four or five vessels to take supplies from St Domingo, to some part of the coast, where he might co operate with Bolivar, and...
