31To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, [27 October 1797] (Jefferson Papers)
Jas. Monroe’s best respects to Mr. Jefferson. He has lately been in Orange at Mr. Madisons, from whom he encloses him a letter. At Mr. Ms. he met Mr. Dawson lately from Richmond and who bade him inform Mr. Jefferson that if he takes the stage for Phila. from Fredbg. it will be necessary for him to be in the latter place on tuesday next to arrive in time for the commenc’ment of Congress, as it...
32To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 22 September 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
This will be delivered you by Mr. Peters with whom you are acquainted. He was presented me in a very favorable light by Mr. Beckly. Unfortunately my situation as he pass’d thro lately to Norfolk put it out of my power to profit of his acquaintance, and the dangerous indisposition of my child deprives now of that pleasure. Our Infant is in the utmost danger & I begin to fear that we shall want...
33To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 27 January 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I came here abt. 6. days past to use my endeavors to raise money to pay the expences upon importation of my furniture. I have drawn on Mr. Barnes for 250. dolrs. wh. I hope he will pay. I think the time is expired when you intimated the sum plac’d in his hands wod. become due. I hope to get thro this heavy business without any very serious loss. Our assembly adjourned two days since. Of a...
34To Alexander Hamilton from James Monroe, 17 July 1797 (Hamilton Papers)
It is impossible for me to trace back at this moment, occupied as I am with other concerns, all the impressions of my mind at the different periods at which the memoranda were made in the publication to which you refer in your favor of today, but I well remember that in entering the one which bears my single signature, altho’ I was surprised at the communication given, yet I neither meant to...
35To Alexander Hamilton from James Monroe, 18 July 1797 (Hamilton Papers)
I can only observe that in entering the note which bears my single signature I did not convey or mean to convey any opinion of my own, as to the faith which was due to it, but left it to stand on its own merits reserving to myself the right to judge of it, as upon any fact afterwards communicated according to its import & authenticity. with due respect I am Sir yr. very humble servt ALS ,...
36To James Madison from James Monroe, 7 December 1799 (Madison Papers)
I did not receive yr. favor of teusday last, till late yesterday, owing to my having moved to my lower plantation; and my important papers resting still behind, did not get them till late today, on acct. of the badness of the weather. I comply however in the best manner I can with your request and that of my other friends. I send you a copy of my letter to Dr. Edwards and his answer, also a...
37To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 2 December 1797 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose you a letter for Mr. Dawson , one for Mr. [Gates,] one for Mr. Knox, and one for Colo. Burr . The last [is] left open for the inspection of Mr. Madison . That to Mr. Knox, you will be so good as put in the post office as soon as you arrive in Phila. I sincerely wish you peace and comfort thro the winter. The latter you may have in some respect—but the former I think you will not...
38To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 23 April 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I did not know that I owed you any thing but what I had mentioned before. I had no idea I owed ch: Carter a farthing; or certainly I wod. not have drawn on you. As it is hope you will be able to draw at 20. days sight if no longer, as I am much pushed for money, owing to the payment of the sum referrd to as to other causes. we will adjust every thing when we meet. Price & Storrs both...
39To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 6 November 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Ervin will present you this , who is already known to you under the honorable testimonial of Saml. Adams . He wishes to visit Mr. Madison on his return to this place, to whom it may be of use for you to give him a line of introduction. The republican ticket has had complete success in this quarter. In Prince George the vote for it was 197. while it was only 9. for the opposit one. In this...
40To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 15 February 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 27 ulto. & that with the communications of Mr. Gerry I have recd.—I suspect also the infidelity of the post tho’ yr. letters give no cause for it apparently. But the game on foot, puts too much at stake with the principal gamblers, for them to lose any opportunity they possess, to forward their views. I am much deceived if the Virga. resolutions &ca are not the chief cause of the...
