From James Madison to James Monroe, 8 July 1816

To James Monroe

Montpelier July 8. 1816

Dear Sir

Mr. De Neuville arrived here on Saturday and sets out this morning on his return. I inclose his letter of Credence with a note of the date of its delivery.1

Be so good as to have an answer to the K. of the Netherlands sent to me for signature.2 That to the K. of Wertemburg is returned.3 Friendly respects

James Madison

The inclosed letters [sic] from I. B. may be worth attention in estimating and comparing characters for the vacancy at N.Y. Please to return it.4
