Leaving His Majesty's Government to the consciousness of the elevated
motives which have governed its conduct and to the universal respect
which must be secured to it, the President is satisfied that no
expressions, however strong, of his own feelings can be appropriately
used which could add to the gratification afforded to His Majesty's
Government at being the channel of communication to preserve peace and
restore good will between differing nations, each of whom is its friend.
The undersigned avails himself of this occasion to renew to Mr. Bankhead
the assurance of his distinguished consideration.
JOHN FORSYTH.
WASHINGTON, _February 23, 1836_.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
I transmit herewith a report of the Secretary of War, on the progress
of the improvement of Red River, furnishing information in addition to
that communicated with my message at the opening of the present session
of Congress.
ANDREW JACKSON.
[The same letter was addressed to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives.]
WASHINGTON, _February 25, 1836_.
_To the Senate_:
I transmit to the Senate a report[15] from the Secretary of State,
complying as far as practicable with their resolution of the 16th
instant.
