Dear Sir
I enclose you, the latest account, which I have recd, of the affairs of Spain, and of the incidents attending our mission there, in a letter from Judge Nelson. You will see, that the frigate has been warnd off the port, whereby his entering has been prevented. Two letters from Mr. Appleton of an earlier date, directly from Cadiz will communicate other interesting details. Very Respectfully & sincerely yours, ... James Monroe
