ALS, one page, 7.25 x 9.5, December 9, 1825. Letter, written from his Oak Hill plantation, to an unidentified recipient. In part, “Mr. Darby has written to me to ask that I would search among my papers, for a letter from Genl. Dearborn, recommending him as the asst. for the Navy at Boston. I have examined among my papers, and have not been able to find it. It was my general practice to deposit such documents in the Dept. to which they related, on the presumption that they might be useful to the parties, there, which they could not be, in my possession, especially, after I should retire from office. I will still look for that letter & should I find, I will hasten to transmit it to you. Make my respects to Mr. Darby." Letter has been professionally inlaid into a slightly larger sheet. Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and some light show-through from staining on reverse, otherwise fine condition. Dearborn had served as Thomas Jefferson's secretary of war from 1801–1809, and Monroe appointed him minister plenipotentiary to Portugal in 1822. A crisply-penned letter which shows Monroe still helpful even after leaving office.
