| Title | James Monroe to unknown regarding the printing of his memoirs and general domestic issues |
| Date | 14 March 1828 |
| Author | Monroe, James (1758-1831) |
| Document Type | Correspondence |
| Content Description | Written by Monroe in retirement to an unknown recipient, but the collateral file has paperwork that says it is to Tench Ringgold. That cannot be confirmed, although it is possible. Ringgold was a well known Republican politician in Washington, D.C., and was serving as U.S. Marshall for the District of Columbia when this letter was penned. He was also active in helping Monroe receive reimbursement from the government for Monroe's previous diplomatic work. Says at the insistence of his friends in Albemerle County, Virginia, he has had his memoirs printed in pamphlet form. Is sending a copy to the recipient (not included here). Claims his wife's health is much improved and that they have been trying to keep their granddaughter ignorant of her illness. Hopes he will visit. Slight mat burn around edges. |
