JAMES MONROE (1758-1831) President. ALS, "Jas Monroe", as President, 1p, April 14, 1823, 8vo, requesting that his correspondent soften the language in an official letter. "...In the last parag[rap]h it occurs to me that it would be well to say that 'The President regrets that a conciliatory deportment be observed towards &c,' instead of recommending it. You write from the War dept, where orders, in cases not doubtful, suit better than any other tone. Every other part of the letter, appears, to me to be strictly proper..." Most likely written to John C Calhoun (1782-1850), Sec of War. Professionally repaired vertical fold. Light soiling, o/w VG. $3,000-4,000
