301To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 7 March 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I recd. yours of the 25. ulto. with one to Mr. de Cepede , this morning, when I also recd. my instructions from the department of State , with all the other documents connected with my mission to France & Spn. The ship, Richmond , of abt. 400. tons burden whose cabbin I have taken, cleared at the custom house on saturday , my baggage was put on board, in expectation of sailing yesterday as Mr....
302To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 3 November 1800 (Jefferson Papers)
I was very sorry my visit to Albemarle took place when you were in Bedford, especially as the calls of duty here put it out of my power to wait yr. return. Indeed such is the nature of the trust I hold that I can scarcely ever be absent from the seat of govt. I intended leaving Mrs. M. at home and making another visit there before yr. departure, but so delicate is the state of her health at...
303To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 9 August 1784 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you lately by Mr. Short from Richmd. He intended sailing in a few days from Warwick so that by this time or at least before this reaches you, you will have received it. I am so far on my way in performance of my trip thro’ the Lakes rivers &c. You will observe by this that I have chang’d my rout and commence for the westward here up the No. river, thence to the Lakes, thro’ the Lakes...
304To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 8 January 1798 (Jefferson Papers)
I have yours of the 27. Decr., for which I thank you. I have made some comments on one item in it to a person who will probably see you. I rejoice that the land tax is postponed, & hope when revived it will be under the auspices of those who have imposed on the publick the necessity of such an increase of their burden. It wod. be entertaining to see the friends of an accumulation of [the]...
305James Monroe to Thomas Jefferson, 13 February 1818 (Jefferson Papers)
I enclose you a commission for M r Sasserno , as consul for Nice , with a memo: from the dep t of State , relating to its transmission to him, respecting which, we shall be happy to forward your views. I enclose you also an extract from a letter of Gall M r Gallatin , relating to M
306To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 18 January 1809 (Jefferson Papers)
An idea has occurr’d to me which I will take the liberty to submit to your consideration. I have thought that you might command my services before you retire from office, in a mode which might prove advantageous to our country & equally honorable to you & myself. Our affairs are evidently at a pause, and the next step to be taken without an unexpected change, unless some expedient consistent...
307James Monroe to Thomas Jefferson, 6 September 1821 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of the 13. ult o found me at the Shannon dale spring , to which I had carried my family on account of the indisposition of m rs Monroe & of our little g d child the daughter of m r Gouverneur . The duties which I had to perform,
308James Monroe to Thomas Jefferson, 22 October 1816 (Jefferson Papers)
It would give me real pleasure to be useful to m r arm i stead , for the reasons which you have stated, if I had the power, but there is no vacancy in the dep t of State , and so closely beset are all the dep ts , by applicants for clerkships, that opportunities rarely occur of introducing into either, any person whom we wish, however deserving of it. I have spoken to the President in m r arm
309James Monroe to Thomas Jefferson, 9 September 1818 (Jefferson Papers)
Sometime ago you intimated to me a desire to dispose of a small tract of land, which you have between mr Alexander s & my land lying below the Blenhims tract. As this is detatched from your other lands, it is probable, that you may still be desirous of parting from it, and that it may fall into other hands, [which I should regret] without an arrangment between us. If my impression is correct,...
310To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 14 October 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The fatigue of my late journey and some concerns which require immidiate attention will deprive me of the pleasure of being at Monticello till after the arrival of Mr. Madison which will be on Wednesday—Unless the funeral of his brother should detain him longer, which however is not expected. I send you the Fredbg. paper containing the proceeding there, which terminated in a recommendation to...
311James Monroe to Thomas Jefferson, 3 September 1818 (Jefferson Papers)
mr Poinsett , whose name & character are I presume well known to you will have the pleasure of giving you this introduction. He was employd very usefully in S o America , several years, under mr Madison , & had previously travelled thro’ most of the European countries & particularly Russia , by whose Sovereign he was known, & treated with much attention. I expected to have presented him...
312To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 1 November 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I omitted in my last letter to state to you that in the publication of our late correspondence, some few verbal alterations had been made in my letter of March 22d. & a short passage omitted. In speaking of special missions it stands in the publication that they were never well received &c. I think I substituted to those terms the word “agreable” in the letter; and towards the conclusion the...
313To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 27 June 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been favored with yours of the 4th. and shall observe the instruction respecting the fund in the hands of Mr. Pope by directing its immediate application to Mr. Barrett. In my last I made some observations evincing the propriety and policy of our neutrality in the present European war, but as that sentiment appears to be general, I refer to it now only as a proof that it is likewise...
