5498. MONROE (James), Selection of a home.—[continued].

I had entertained hopes
of your settling in my neighborhood; but these
were determined by your desiring a plan of a
house for Richmond. However reluctantly I
relinquish this prospect, I shall not the less
readily obey your commands by sending you a
plan.—
To James Monroe. Washington ed. i, 564. Ford ed., iv, 220.
