Will you be so good as make the necessary enquiries & communicate to me as soon as in yr. power what you hear respecting them. There is nothing new in our affairs here. The...
62To James Madison from James Monroe, 3 June 1803 (Madison Papers)
It is highly important that the Congress be immediately called and the treaty & conventions we have formed be carried into immediate effect, in all their stipulations. If the measure we have adopted is approved, no delay shod. occur, in performing what we are to perform, since a failure in any one point in the time specified may defeat & I think will defeat the whole. We shall be more full on...

My last publick letter was of the 3d. instt.—my last private one of the 22d. ulto. In the publick letter I communicated to you what had passed between Ld.

65To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 20 December 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Dr. Barraud who will present you this is a very respectable citizen & able physician of Norfolk. Having been intrusted with the care of the marine hospital at that port, he thinks it incumbent on him to make some communications relative to it to the Executive of the UStates, for which purpose he makes a visit to the seat of govt. you will I am well persuaded find his communication very...

I have inclosed you the papers relative to the British Consul at Norfolk, in the affr. of the man who was sent to the Island and as reported executed, for mutiny on bd. a British ship.

67To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 21 October 1802 (Jefferson Papers)

Pleasants , a brother of the clerk of the h. of Delegates , of equally fair character, and...

69To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 6 June 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
On information of the death of John Page which gained general belief here, I wrote you a letter two days since, which had relation to an object connected with that event. The present accounts contradict that report & as I hope & believe on good ground. I hasten therefore to correct the error into which I had been led. You are I presume by this time return’d to Washington. I hope that you...
70To James Madison from James Monroe, 27 November 1804 (Madison Papers)
I left England on my way to Madrid on the 8th ulto. & passing thro’ Holland arrived here on the 24th. It is probable that I might have obtained permission of both governments to take a more direct route, by crossing the channel, but as that required a special indulgence, I thought it better not to ask it. I was the more inclined to prefer the former route, as it plac’d me at a distance from...
