My dear Sir,
The difficulty (under exsting circumstances) of knowing what to write to you, had determined me to write nothing; but to let the matter rest altogether upon the public communications from The Secretary of State. –
Coming to this place, however, (on a flying trip to Mount Vernon) and finding the Vessel on which Mr. Monroe is on board had not left the River, I have so far departed from my determination as to assure you that my confidence in, and friendship & regard for you, remains undiminished. –
To time, and your own observations, if you should return immediately to this country, I commit the rest; and It will be nothing new to assure you that I am always & very sincerely
Yours – affectionately
Go: Washington
Govr. Morris Esqr.
