Letter from Yates as Governor of New York to Monroe as President. The letter seems to be in a secretarial hand and signed by Yates. Docketed by Monroe on verso. Forwarded to Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, who also docketed the letter. Neither Monroe's nor Adams's signature is on the document. Yates wrote to express outrage over a British law passed on 5 August 1822, which restricted American free trade down the St. Lawrence River at Quebec. Asks that negotiations be entered with Britain and if they are unsuccessful to retaliate by creating additional duties on British bottoms. Repairs where seal was removed.
