I now transmit to Congress copies of communications received from the governor of Georgia relating to that subject.
The delay in the transmission of this communication is attributable to the earnest desire which I have entertained of acceding to the opinions and complying with the wishes of the Senate.
I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of War, with documents, containing the information desired by the resolution.
The acceptance of this invitation, therefore, far from conflicting with the counsel or the policy of Washington, is directly deducible from and conformable to it.
