More from James Monroe
In executing this very delicate and important trust I acted with the utmost precaution.
I herewith transmit a report from the Secretary of War, furnishing all the information in the possession of that Department embraced by the resolution.
As Colonel Gadsden held the office of Inspector-General, and as such was acknowledged by all to belong to the staff of the Army, it is not perceived on what ground his appointment can be objected to.
I transmit a report from the Secretary of War, together with the annual return of the militia of the United States, and an exhibit of the arms, accouterments, and ammunition of the several States and Territories of the United States, prepared in conformity with the militia laws on that subject.
