Correspondence : with Edmond Genet, 1800-1803.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/30820687

Genet congratulates Monroe on his election as governor of Virginia, 1800, and appointment as minister to France, 1803; and defends his conduct in the United States. Monroe explains why he never urged the French government to allow Genet to return, and says that while he was minister there was nothing he could do to help him. Genet received letters from Madame Campan about the Monroes; and from George Clinton describing Washington, D.C., arriving to take office as Vice President, relations with Spain, Burr's conspiracy, embargo and defense measures, and Monroe's return from London.
