To James Madison from James Monroe, 12 May 1816

From James Monroe

May 12. 1816.

As my letters to Mr Pinkney & Mr Gallatin are essentially concluded, and little is to add to that to Mr Russell I have thought that a trip to Loudoun to return on tuesday, will be no embarrassment to public concerns, and some advantage to my self.

You will, I understood, from Mr Todd, yesterday, not leave town till the last of the week. Mr Dallas leaves it on wednesday.

I saw him last night. He is perfectly well disposed, and has not, I presume, any mistaken view respecting his late Clerk.1 I am to see him again before he goes to Phila.

1Monroe probably referred to Daniel Sheldon, chief clerk in the Treasury Department, who was about to accompany Albert Gallatin to France.
