  Letter, James Monroe, New York, New York, to John Watson, Albemarle County  , Virginia
  1828 June 23
  Scope and Contents

  James Monroe writes to his friend John Watson about his visit to his daughter in New York and the reception he received there from his fellow citizens. The letter mostly deals with Monroe's financial situation, having to sell off some of his Virginia property in order to pay the bank. "Dear Sir, 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 cuurrently restricted due to its fragility. Item location was previously identified as Box 2, Folder 114.
