Item description from seller

Quarto. 2pp., on a folded sheet. Richmond: January 20, 1808. Two old light horizontal fold lines (with slight separation extending about a quarter inch from the right edge), one small light stain and a tiny chip to the right edge of the upper fold line, very good. Also included is the original hand-addressed envelope wrapper (a folded folio sheet). An outstanding autograph letter written by Monroe upon his return to Virginia after serving six years as U.S. Minister to Great Britain, sent to his friend and fellow Virginian, Governor William Cabell. Monroe thanks Cabell: ". for the kind & friendly manner in which you have made known to our country & communicated to me, your good opinion on my publick conduct in the various & important trusts to which I have been appointed. With the sentiments which you entertain of your official duty in such a case, to which I attach the highest degree of consideration & respect, I would not have presumed that you would have expressed any opinion on the subject. By stating your sentiments on the journal of the council, in the manner you have done, you afford a very strong proof of your devotion to principle & friendship for me. In returning to my country after so long an absence from it, during which, I was engaged in the discharge of the most extensive, complicated and difficult duties, I have experiencd the greatest possible consolation, from the acception which has been given me by my fellow citizens. To the executive & legislative bodies of this commonwealth I have been made known more intimately by the course of my publick service . I am dear sir with my best wishes for your welfare very sincerely yours, Jas. Monroe.".…
