LS, one page both sides, 7.25 x 9, June 18, 1794. Burr writes to James Monroe. In part: “You must have recd. Mr. Prevost’s [probably a relation of his wife, the former Theodosia Prevost] final answer before you left Philad[elphi]a. He has the utmost sensibility to your goodness & politeness—yet the possibility of remaining without resources is a hazard which he thinks his circumstances will not warrant him to encounter: and from motives of delicacy he will not allow me to interfere in removing this embarrassment. If you should be at any time without a secretary and should choose to receive him as such, he will chearfully [sic] obey your summons. You will find me a very punctual correspondent—and the more extensive to cypher is (which you proposed to make) the more interesting may our letters be to each other. A name which will occur frequently, had best be designated by two or three different characters. I leave this wholly to you.” Burr continues with good wishes, plans to place “large orders…if you should find books cheaply,” and mentions that he has been “confined…almost wholly to my bed…by an increase of that complaint in the side.” Letter also bears a docketing notation in an unknown hand. Slight edge separations along faint intersecting folds, a uniform shade of mild toning, narrow mounting remnant to one margin, and light show-through of ink, otherwise fine condition.
