To John Tyler.

WASHINGTON, Novr 3d, 1804.

SIR,—In the year 1801, Governor Monroe placed in my hands three hundred Dollars, to be applied, when called for, to the payment in France for a Sword (as well as I recollect) voted by the State of Virginia to General Campbell. The money was lodged in the Bank of Columbia, in Georgetown. Having never been called for, it escaped my attention, till I was three days ago reminded of it by lighting on the receipt given by the Bank. With a view to remit it without delay, I have drawn the money from its depository, and now inclose it in halves of three bills, of 100 dollars each. The other halves will be sent by another mail.
