31From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 21 March 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
A copy of the treaty with Gr. Britain came to mr Erskine’s hands on the last day of the session of Congress, which he immediately communicated to us; and since that mr Purviance has arrived with an original. on the subject of it you will recieve a letter from the Secretary of state of about this date, and one more in detail hereafter.

32From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 13 April 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I was mistaken in supposing Alexander Baring arrived. it is Charles Baring, not connected in Business with the other. your letter therefore must be to A. Baring as in London, and if you can send it to me by duplicates we can use one in England, & the other in France. Affectionate salutations DLC : Papers of James Monroe.
33From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 4 May 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you on the 16th. of March by a common vessel, & then expected to have had, on the rising of Congress, an opportunity of peculiar confidence to you. Mr. Beckley then supposed he should take a flying trip to London on private business. but I believe he does not find it convenient. he could have let you into the arcana rerum, which you have interests in knowing. mr Pinckney’s pursuits...
34From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 21 September 1803 (Jefferson Papers)

35From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 15 June 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Colo. Gamble of Richmond has desired me to introduce to your notice his son Robert who is gone to Europe on commercial concerns. the circumstances are known to you which render this application as unexpected as indelicate to be refused. his two daughters have married two good republicans. whether this is giving the pendulum another vibration, and he has made this an occasion of making an...

37From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 29 May 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I have duly recieved your letter of the 22d. instant, covering a copy of your communication to the General assembly, with the documents relative to the conduct of the British Consul at Norfolk who is charged with having recieved and sent out of the state of Virginia, a citizen of that state, under circumstances unauthorised by the existing laws. be assured that the request conveyed in the same...
38From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 28 January 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of the 18th. was recieved in due time, and the answer has been delayed as well by a pressure of business as by the expectation of your absence from Richmond. the idea of sending a special mission to France or England is not entertained at all here. after so little attention to us from the former, & so insulting an answer from Canning such a mark of respect as an extraordinary...
39From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 24 November 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I had not been unmindful of your letter of June 15, covering a resolution of the House of Representatives of Virginia, and referred to in your’s of the 17th. inst. the importance of the subject, and the belief that it gave us time for consideration till the next meeting of the legislature have induced me to defer the answer to this date. you will percieve that some circumstances, connected...
40From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 20 July 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved lately a letter from Genl. Lawson solliciting a charity which he desired me to send through your hands. I had yielded last year to an application of the same nature from him and although I think his habits & conduct render him less entitled to it than many others on whom it might be bestowed, yet ( pour la derniere fois ) I inclose for him 30. Dollars which I must ask you to apply...
41From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 11 April 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
An indisposition of periodical head-ach has for some time disabled me from business, and prevented my sooner acknoleging your letter of Mar. 22. and returning that of Feb. 2. ’06. which it inclosed. the reciept of that of Mar. 22. has given me sincere pleasure. conscious that I never felt a sentiment towards you that was not affectionate it is a great relief to find that the doubts you had...
42From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 7 March 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
I had written the inclosed letter to mrs Trist, and was just proceeding to begin one to you, when your favor of the 6th . was put into my hand. I thank you sincerely for it, and consider the views of it so sound, that I have communicated it to my coadjutors as one of our important evidences of the public sentiment, according to which we must shape our course. I suspect, partly from this, but...
43From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 3 February 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Will you be so good as to deliver the inclosed letters to Prince Ruspoli , to whom I should have sent them before he left this place, but was prevented by indispensable occupations. as I know he is to call on you, the omission can be supplied; the object of the letters being to have him attended to at Monticello. should he be gone, or not go that rout, let them be sent to Monticello, as they...
44From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 16 March 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
I very much wish for an opportunity perfectly confidential, of writing to you, & I expect to have such an one on the rising of Congress. it is extremely interesting to you that you should have a perfect knolege of what is passing here, lest you should be misled by those who do not mean to mislead you, but themselves mistake the line of conduct which would be equally agreeable to your feelings...
45From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 26 May 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
In mine of the 22d. I forgot to write on the subject of Callender , tho’ I had reserved that, for some time, to make a part of the letter. D.M.R. has contrived to put the money in such a situation that I find we could not lay our hands on it without giving room for specious criticisms. that would be a gratification to which he is not entitled. it will moreover strengthen the reasons for laying...
46From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 31 March 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
Your’s of the 21st. is duly recieved. Chisolm is now engaged in running up for me 20. brick pilasters to my offices, which take about 4000. bricks, and I remember it was very doubtful whether we had that number. but if there be as many over it as you need, they are at your service, and I will give orders accordingly by the next post. I expect to be there myself within 10. days after the rising...
47From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 21 July 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
In answer to your letter on the paiment of the guards at New-London, I beg leave to mention that it was not till about a fortnight ago that measures could be taken for their relief. a party from some recruits at Winchester was about that time ordered to proceed to New London. so soon as they arrive, the guards you ordered can be dispensed with, and if you will then have the accounts of...
48From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 12 October 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Such was the accumulation of business awaiting me here, that it was not till this day that I could take time to look into my letters to you. as my copies are with the Polygraph I can refer to the originals in your hands by the page and line. letter of Feb. 18. 1st. paragraph to be omitted, being merely of private business. pa. 1. l. 22. perhaps the word ‘old’ may be misunderstood, & therefore...
49From Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 24 November 1802 (Jefferson Papers)
On reciept of your letter of June 11. in answer to mine of June 3. I wrote to mr King our minister at the court of London, a letter, the copy of which I now inclose you. I trusted we had then time enough to have recieved an answer before the ensuing meeting of the legislature of Virginia. but he probably left England on a visit to the continent a little before the reciept of that letter. as...
