On my return lately from Albemarle I found yr. favors of the 15. 17. & 20th. wh. were unopened according to orders I had left in such cases. An attack from Callendar is a harmless thing unsupported by any document from yrself. From such letters as you wrote him I do not think any thing is to be hoped to him or the federalists. If the printers wod. say nothing in reply to the attacks of that...
Yours of june 15th. was recd. on my arrival here. Mr. Gamble has not been here that I can learn. Shod. he come while I am here I shall most certainly pay him the attention you desire. I have conferr’d with Mr. Carey respecting the documents concerning the war in our southern states which you committed to him for publication, & send his apology in a letter to me for not having answered yr....
The inclosed letters from mr Appleton & gen l Dearborn, will give you our latest intelligence from Cadiz & Lisbon, which you will find of a very gloomy & discouraging nature. After perusing them, be so kind as to enclose them to Mr Madison, with a request that he return them to me. Our accounts from S o America, & Mexico, indicate, that those people must undergo great difficulties before they...
Having lately rec d an intimation that an herb which I now send you, would be useful to you. I hasten to do it by the present mail. The parties are highly respectable, I mean Mr Hooe on whom it has operated, & Mr Buckner who writes the letter which I send you. I will write you again by the next mail. I have no doubt of the extr y efficacy of the remedy—in haste yours MHi .
I was requested by the General Assembly at its last Session to transmit to the President of the United States, a copy of my communication to it, with the documents accompanying it, relative to the conduct of the Britith Consul at Norfolk, who was charged with having received a man of a Magistrate of the Borough of Norfolk, said to have confessed himself one of the Mutineers on board the...
Jas. Monroe is happy to inform Mr. Jefferson that Joseph Scott the person lately appointed Marshall for this district, is the brother of Genl. Scott of Kentuckey. He was an officer through the revolutionary war, dangerously wounded in one of its battles by which he lost the use of one of his arms, is respectable for his talents, of fair and upright character, and sound in his political...
From the date of my last letter to you the President has been ill of a bilious fever; of that kind called the remittent. It has perhaps never left him, even for an hour, and occasionally the simptoms have been unfavorable. This is I think the 15 th day. Elzey of this place, & Shoaff of Annapolis , with D r Tucker , attend him. They think he will recover. The first mention’d, I have just seen,...
Since yr. favor respecting my land above charlottesville I have heard nothing of Darrelle or Craven tho’ I wrote the former by yr. advice, communicating my price. I wish much to know whether that gentln. takes it, as in the interim it suspends my negotiation with any other person. I have thoughts of visiting Albemarle the last of this week, with Mrs. M to whom a change of place may be useful,...
From some distant allusion it was inferr’d that Mr. Hay wod. not act as a comr. of bankruptcy. The proposition was not directly made, so that he did not refuse; it was only inferr’d that it was not an office which he was desirous of. I have not yet been able to form a list for Norfolk, but expect soon to do it, which shall be transmitted without delay. In the interim there is no reason why you...

I must mention several at present with whom I stand in that predicamt. lest by withholding their pretentions longer, a reliance on me for that service might possibly expose them to injury. David Gelston of New Yk. wod. be happy to accept...
