ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, _January 30, 1837_.
_To the House of Representatives of the United States_:
I herewith transmit to the House the copy of a letter addressed to
me by the governor of the State of Maine on the 30th of June last,
communicating sundry resolutions of the legislature of that State and
claiming the reimbursement of certain moneys paid to John and Phineas
R. Harford for losses and expenses incurred by them under circumstances
explained in the accompanying papers.
ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, _February 6, 1837_.
The SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:
In compliance with the resolution of the House of Representatives of the
3d instant, I herewith transmit the report[26] of the Secretary of the
Navy, which affords all the information required by said resolution. The
President begs leave to add that he trusts that all facilities will be
given to this exploring expedition that Congress can bestow and the
honor of the nation demands.
ANDREW JACKSON.
[Footnote 26: Relating to the South Sea exploring expedition.]
WASHINGTON, _February 6, 1837_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States_:
At the beginning of this session Congress was informed that our
claims upon Mexico had not been adjusted, but that notwithstanding the
irritating effect upon her councils of the movements in Texas, I hoped,
by great forbearance, to avoid the necessity of again bringing the
subject of them to your notice.
