More from James Monroe
I herewith transmit a report from the Secretary of War, which contains the information required.
To remove all doubt on the subject, I submit to the consideration of Congress the propriety of passing a declaratory act to that effect.
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.
The exposure being common to the whole District, the regulation should apply to the whole, to make which Congress alone possesses the adequate power.
