Martin Van Buren: “The report of the Secretary of War which accompanies these papers contains the reasons for withholding the proceedings…”

I transmit, for the action of the Senate, a communication from the Secretary of War, on the subject of the transfer of Chickasaw stock to the Choctaw tribe, which the accompanying papers explain.

Applications have been frequently made at the Mint for copies of medals voted at different times by Congress to the officers who distinguished themselves in the War of the Revolution and in the last war

I communicate the report of the Secretary of War, containing the information called for by that resolution as far as it relates to the Department under his charge.

I have to invite the special attention of Congress to that part of the Director's report in relation to the overvaluation given to the gold in foreign coins by the act of Congress of June 28, 1834
