Thomas Jefferson Signed Letter re James Monroe Framed

THOMAS JEFFERSON SIGNED LETTER

Thomas Jefferson October 5, 1781 letter (REPRINT). A historical letter by Thomas Jefferson for his friend and protégé, James Monroe, when the latter was about to leave on a journey to Europe to complete his studies. Early in 1780 Monroe had begun to read law under Jefferson, then governor of Virginia, and t had developed between the two an intimacy and a sympathy which exerted a powerful influence upon Monroe's whole subsequent career. Jefferson informs his correspondent, presumably on the influential Americans of whom t were several in France at this time, that Monroe can give him a full account of American affairs, and Jefferson also expresses the hope that with the aid of France Lord Cornwallis and his army will soon be captured and Georgia and South Carolina restored to the United States.

Letter reads:

Virginia, Oct. 5 1781

Dear Sir

The bearer of Colo James Monroe who served some time as an officer in the American army and as such distinguished himself in the affair of Princetown as well as on other occasions, having resumed his studies, comes to Europe to complete them. Being a citizen of this state, of abilities, merit & fortune, and my particular friend, I take the liberty of making him known to you, that should any circumstances render your patronage & protection as necessary as they would be always agreeable to him, you may be assured they are bestowed on one fully worthy of them.

He will be able to give you a particular detail of American affairs, and especially of the prospect we have thro' the aid of our father of France of making captives of Ld Cornwallis & his army, of the recovery of Georgia and South Carolina, and the possibility that Charlestown itself will be opened to us.

I have the honour to be with the most profound respect & esteem Dr Sir

Your most obedt

& most humble sert
