Monroe replies to Causten's query about his mission to France and role in the French spoliation claims commenting "that I exerted, all my faculties ... in support of their just claims" adding "In every subsequent situation, in which I was plac'd by the suffrage of my country, I was equally attentive to their rights & interests." Monroe goes on to state that he is now retired from public affairs and reuses to address issues in which he was involved, noting "my conduct is open to free inspection & animadversion, as it was, while in the public service." Monroe also comments on recent poor health and forwards a document from James Madison.
