Letter
James Monroe to Wilson Conner, April 19, 1814
Mr. Monroe, Secretary of State, to Mr. Conner.
Department of State,
April 19, 1814.
April 19, 1814.
Sir: The papers referred to in your letter of the 7th instant were duly received at this office. The United States being at peace with Spain, no countenance can be given by their Government to the proceedings of the revolutionary party in East Florida, if it is composed of Spanish subjects, and still less can it be given to them if it consists of American citizens, who, so far as their conduct may fall within the scope of existing laws long enacted and well known and understood, will be liable to censure.
JAMES MONROE.
Wilson Conner, Esq., Louisburgh, North Carolina.
