Monroe, contained in his letter to him dated Monti- cello, October 24th, 1823. THE INTER-OCEANIC CANAL. 81 4. He favored the acquisition of Cuba by the United States. On the 3d of June, 1823, he wrote to President Monroe in reference to that island, saying, "Certainly her addition to our confederacy is ex- actly what is wanting to round our power as a nation to the point of its utmost interest. " He afterward wrote to the same person that the " annexation of Cuba would fill up the measure of ou...r political well- being.
