| Description: | Mrs. Monroe was indisposed? by fatigue the last day of our journey here, but is now recovering and I think the prospect good, of her deriving all the advantage from the visit to see Gouverneur, and our daughter and her other connections that we expected. My fellow citizens here have been very kind and attentive, and in a manner which I did not expect, but could not avoid without wounding their feelings. In this, I will, if I have time, write you again, as I intend to set out, in a few days, and passing by Oak Hill, to be at the University on the 10th of next month, where I hope to see you in good health. I may defer further explanations till then. My land in Monmouth will soon be sold, and the coast? below Milton before my arrival there. I wish my friends not to interfere, in any manner whatever, best to let the bank takes its own course. We have done all that we could to prevent a sacrifice, consistent with character, and if the banks are so disposed, let them do it. Sincerely good friend - James Monroe" This letter is fragile and is in need of conservation. |
