85To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 7 June 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
I deeply regret to have been compelled, as you will see by the gazettes, to advertise my lands in albemarle for sale, but in truth the debts which I owe, owing to bad management, bad crops, expensive trusts with incompetent salaries, untill the present, the savings from which, with the most rigid œconomy, will do little more than pay the interest, leave me no alternative.

90To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 29 January 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
