101To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 3 September 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I parted from Mr. Madison three days past at my house. He was so kind as shew me your letter to him by Mr. Randolph. The state into which the conduct of an indiscreet man on the one part, and some very wicked men on the other, has thrown us in respect to France fills me with extreme concern. That he should not have implicitly followed your advice in all the affairs of his country is to me...
102To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 25 November 1822 (Jefferson Papers)
We have all been very much distressd, of the accounts recently receivd, of the misfortune you have Sustaind, in the fracture of your arm, or at least of one of its bones. We hope that it has not been so Serious, as has been represented, & that you are rapidly recovering from it— This is a moment, as you well know, when, in addition to the heavy cares which bear on me, the calls of the Members...
103To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 6 June 1794 (Jefferson Papers)
Since my appointment I have been extremely occupied in a variety of respects. I had likewise flattered myself with the hope I should see you before my departure till within a day or two past—but of this I now begin to despair. I shall sail from Bal: for which place I sit out in 4. days hence. Tis possible the vessel may not be ready altho I am advised she is. I feel extremely anxious upon the...
104James Monroe to Thomas Jefferson, 10 July 1815 (Jefferson Papers)
The intelligence which you communicated to me the evening before I left home, of a vote having been given in the H. of C. against L d C. has not been confirmed, and I fear will not be. Little, has been receiv’d of late from Europe , but all accounts concur in the probability of a war, which Engl d prompts & leads, that will become general. Nothing can be more unprincipled than such a war,...

I have just returned from Richmond & send the inclosed for yr. inspection in the hope that you may not have set-out to day for Washington, knowing that you have heretofore frequently staid a day longer than that which you had appointed for your departure to arrange more completely your private affairs.

107James Monroe to Thomas Jefferson, [received 27] May 1820 (Jefferson Papers)
I have receiv’d your letter of the 14. containing a very interesting view of the late treaty with Spain , and of the proceedings respecting it here. If the occurrence involvd in it nothing more, than a question between the U States & Spain , or between them & the Colonies, I should entirely concur in your view of the subject. I am satisfied, that we might, regulate it, in every circumstance,...
108James Monroe to Thomas Jefferson, 11 November 1812 (Jefferson Papers)
M r Russell has arrived at New York & is expected here in a day or two. He made the second proposition to the British gov t authorised by his instructions, which you have seen published, which was also rejected, & in terms rather acrimonious, imputing to it a character—which it did not merit. This gov t has been sincerely desirous of an accomodation but it appears that the British gov t will...
