11To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 27 February 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
My great anxiety to forward to you the account and receit for the sum which I paid for your mathematical instruments at London, when I should acknowledge your kind letter of the 18th, prevented my answering it sooner. To obtain them I was forced to ransack all my papers, which required much time, & in truth I did not succeed in finding them till this morning. I have now the pleasure to inclose...
12To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 11 January 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I have had the pleasure to receive yours of Octr. 26. and shall not fail to bring with me the articles mentioned in it from Jones the Instrument maker in Holborn. I am much indebted to you that the sum they will cost on an old account so that that matter will rest of course for the present.

13To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 8 July 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
The admn. likely to change its tone & I to be swept from the stage. On the 25. of April I was resolved to press the business with more earnestness than I had done; to remind Mr. Fox of his engagmts & thro’ him produce some effect in the Cabinet. In that state he found it necessary to secure quiet somewhere & asked me if Mr. M. or Mr K. were coming over. I verily believed that no one was coming...
14To 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...
15To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 30 June 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
It is painful to touch on other topicks but I shod. feel myself deficient in candor if I did not observe that at no period of my life was I ever subjected to more inquietude than I have suffered since my return from Spain. I have found myself plac’d in a situation thro’ the whole of this interval altogether unexpected & in consideration of the parties to it equally novel. It was my wish to...
16To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 20 June 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
The opportunity by Mr. Bankhead is too favorable not to be taken advantage of to write you, altho I may be able to add but little to what you find in my official dispatches. The business here has been suspended since the late appointment was known & will remain so till Mr. Pinkney arrives. It was impossible for me to move in it after that event, either with propriety or effect. besides it...
17To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 15 June 1806 (Jefferson Papers)
If I was not personally your friend and did not wish success to your administration, from the interest I take in your welfare, as in that of my country, I should not write you with the freedom I propose to do in this letter. It is my intention to enter fully into some topicks which are of very high importance to your reputation as to the best interests of the UStates, & I do it in confidence...
18To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 1 November 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Yours of june 15th. was recd. on my arrival here. Mr. Gamble has not been here that I can learn. Shod. he come while I am here I shall most certainly pay him the attention you desire. I have conferr’d with Mr. Carey respecting the documents concerning the war in our southern states which you committed to him for publication, & send his apology in a letter to me for not having answered yr....
19To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 6 October 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
I wrote you lately by Col: Mercer, by whom I intended to have forwarded Carey’s letter respecting the documents which you had committed to him relative to the war in our southern states. By accident it was left behind, but is now forwarded. I hope the same which he states to be necessary to redeem the papers will be made up & furnished him. In that case the person to whom it is entrusted here...
20To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 26 September 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
Altho’ it is not yet decided whether I shall sail this fall or not to the UStates, as I most earnestly wish to do, yet I cannot neglect the opportunity by Col: Mercer, to add something to you which it is possible may not be in any other letters. It was my intention as I intimated by Captn. Dulton, to sail immediately after my arrival here, & nothing wod. have prevented it but the seizure of...
