21To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 26 January 1799 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of the 3d. reached me yesterday as did likewise that of Dr. Bache mentioned in yours. I shall do every thing in my power to fulfill the Drs. wishes & hope to procure him a settlement in our neighbourhood, such as he will approve. The plan you suggest for negotiation with the parties having land for sale is judicious & shall be followed. Tho’ I fear the price of each will be high & that...
22To 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...

Colo. Cabell furnishes an opportunity by wh. I enclose you a copy of Mr. Madisons rept. on the acts of the other states on the alien & sedition laws. This report has been two days before the house supported by the author Taylor & Giles, and opposed by two or three whose names it is not necessary to give. Its effect is very discernible on the whole federal party, some of the more moderate of...
24To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 4 March 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
You will have heard of the death of Mr. R.B. before this reaches you. On my arrival here the engagmt. in his favor became due, & as a judgment stood agnst me on a forthcoming bond I was forced to pay the amt. wh. was £651.—I notified to Francis Brooke his brother, that he stood indebted to you for this act of friendship £100., to two other gentln. in a like sum, each, and to me for the...

I have the pleasure to transmit you a copy of the report of a Committee of the House of Delegates on the proceedings of several of the States on certain Resolutions of the General Assembly passed at a former Session on the alien and sedition laws of the United States—as also certain instructions to our Senators in Congress on the same subjects. and am Sir with great respect and esteem your...
26To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 26 March 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
The sum I have been forc’d to advance on the subject of my last , will force me to draw on you for the portion chargeable to you. This draft will be for 300. dolrs. at ten days sight in favor of Jas. Hooe of alexa.—wh. if you cannot otherwise pay than by a draft on me beg you to make. From this particular item, I mentioned in my last a deduction of 30£ for so much paid to Mr. Kinney by you for...
27To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 8 April 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I have yours of the 26. March. I enclose you a letter for Mr. Irvine , wh. as you know the part of the case wh. is agnst me, I leave open that you may see my explanation. I will thank you to have it conveyed to him. Whether it is proper for you to withdraw yr.slf from the attention of the friends of free govt. at the present moment, is an important question wh. ought not to be decided but on...
28To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 23 April 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I have yours of the 13. When your presence ceases to be necessary in Phila., (and I wod. certainly remain while it was) your speedy arrival home is what I very much wish. I will arrange things so, as to be Albemarle as soon as I hear you are there. we have nothing new here except the election of the city & county, the former of wh. continues Copland , the latter has chosen two republicans ;...
29To 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...
30To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 26 April 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
The legislature directed sometime since the building of a foundry for great & small arms, on the canal near this city. This work is now so far advanc’d as to furnish the prospect of its being in a state to commence the manufactory of muskets in the course of the present year, and is on such a scale as to make it probable we shall be able to cast cannon for the union. The attention it is my...
