201From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 11 April 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
An indisposition of periodical head-ach has for some time disabled me from business, and prevented my sooner acknoleging your letter of Mar. 22. and returning that of Feb. 2. ’06. which it inclosed. the reciept of that of Mar. 22. has given me sincere pleasure. conscious that I never felt a sentiment towards you that was not affectionate it is a great relief to find that the doubts you had...
202From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 6 February 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Nobody here has recieved mr Madison’s report as it passed the house . the members of the different states are waiting to recieve & forward a single copy to their states to be reprinted there. this would require half a dozen copies. but if you send me one, we can have it reprinted here & sent out. pray do it by the first post. if it was not printed there as amended in a separate pamphlet then...
203Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 16 January 1820 (Jefferson Papers)
What can I do, my dear friend, with such letters as the inclosed, but forward them to you? and the rather as I presume you must have known the merits of the writer as well as I did: that he was an active whig and officer in the revolution of 1776. and a firm republican in that of 1800. I reject the numerous applications made to me to be troublesome to you; but now and then comes one which...
204From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 7 March 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I had written the inclosed letter to mrs Trist, and was just proceeding to begin one to you, when your favor of the 6th . was put into my hand. I thank you sincerely for it, and consider the views of it so sound, that I have communicated it to my coadjutors as one of our important evidences of the public sentiment, according to which we must shape our course. I suspect, partly from this, but...
205From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 3 February 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Will you be so good as to deliver the inclosed letters to Prince Ruspoli , to whom I should have sent them before he left this place, but was prevented by indispensable occupations. as I know he is to call on you, the omission can be supplied; the object of the letters being to have him attended to at Monticello. should he be gone, or not go that rout, let them be sent to Monticello, as they...
206From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 16 March 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I very much wish for an opportunity perfectly confidential, of writing to you, & I expect to have such an one on the rising of Congress. it is extremely interesting to you that you should have a perfect knolege of what is passing here, lest you should be misled by those who do not mean to mislead you, but themselves mistake the line of conduct which would be equally agreeable to your feelings...
207From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 26 May 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
In mine of the 22d. I forgot to write on the subject of Callender , tho’ I had reserved that, for some time, to make a part of the letter. D.M.R. has contrived to put the money in such a situation that I find we could not lay our hands on it without giving room for specious criticisms. that would be a gratification to which he is not entitled. it will moreover strengthen the reasons for laying...
208From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 31 March 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Your’s of the 21st. is duly recieved. Chisolm is now engaged in running up for me 20. brick pilasters to my offices, which take about 4000. bricks, and I remember it was very doubtful whether we had that number. but if there be as many over it as you need, they are at your service, and I will give orders accordingly by the next post. I expect to be there myself within 10. days after the rising...
209From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 21 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
In answer to your letter on the paiment of the guards at New-London, I beg leave to mention that it was not till about a fortnight ago that measures could be taken for their relief. a party from some recruits at Winchester was about that time ordered to proceed to New London. so soon as they arrive, the guards you ordered can be dispensed with, and if you will then have the accounts of...
210From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 12 October 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Such was the accumulation of business awaiting me here, that it was not till this day that I could take time to look into my letters to you. as my copies are with the Polygraph I can refer to the originals in your hands by the page and line. letter of Feb. 18. 1st. paragraph to be omitted, being merely of private business. pa. 1. l. 22. perhaps the word ‘old’ may be misunderstood, & therefore...
