More from James Monroe
I now transmit a report from the Secretary or State, containing the information embraced by that resolution.
In executing this law I had no personal object to accomplish or feeling to gratify--no one to retain, no one to remove.
It is on the authority of these examples, supported by the construction which I gave to the law, that I have acted in the discharge of this high trust.
The Secretary of State, one of the ministers referred to, has already expressed a desire that Mr. Russell's letter should be communicated, and that I would transmit at the same time a communication from him respecting it.
