51To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 8 July 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of May 4th. was presented to me on the 24th. ulto. by Mr Pinkney. That of March 16th. has not yet reached me. You are so good as to offer me either of the governments of Louisiana & to intimate that they shall be kept open sometime for my answer. I should be very sorry if any injurious delay proceeded from that cause; I hasten therefore to prevent it. At one time I was inclined to...

I communicated to you, when I had last the pleasure to see you, that during the late conspiracy of the slaves in this state, I had, by advice of the Council, ordered a guard, consisting of a subaltern and suitable number of men over the deposit of Arms and military Stores of the United States at New London , which would be continued until you had made some disposition of those Arms, which...

54To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 11 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Be so kind as inform me whether in consequence of our conversation respecting the nominations for command of, and inferior appointments in the army, there is any executive calculation on my conduct. An opposition will probably be made to the Commander, but most certainly if there is in the most distant degree, I shall not join in it, especially as tis possible (as it has been hinted by King...

Jas. Monroe’s best respects to Mr. Jefferson. He has lately been in Orange at Mr. Madisons, from whom he encloses him a letter.

58To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 21 August 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
On my return from Richmond I was favored with yours of the 14. of July. I should have answered it sooner had I not been prevented by some peculair engagements. At present I should be more full upon some points but that the favor of Mr. Madisons company likewise prevents it. Upon one point I think it necessary to say a few words. You suggest that some indiscretions of Mr. Genet have given an...

We are still destind to have further trouble with Spain . It was hoped, that the minister lately arrivd , would have terminated every difficulty, but it appears that he has come to act the part of his predecessor , to make complaints, demand explanations, & report them to his government, who may take as many years to conclude another treaty, as they did the last . This minister admits, that...
60To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 17 July 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I believe I mention’d in my last that great part of my time would be occupied in the completion of our report to the Legislature of the revision of the laws. The only act of the Committee at Richmond was to adjourn here which left me the alternative of returning home and bringing Mrs. M. down with me, or abandoning the trust altogether. Mature consideration determined me in favor of the former...
