Martin Van Buren: “To the House of Representatives of the United States: I transmit to the House of Representatives, in answer to…”

If it should be the pleasure of Congress that the preparatory exploration and survey of the northeastern boundary of the United States should be completed

I transmit herewith to the House of Representatives of the United States a report from the Director of the Mint, exhibiting the operations of that institution during the year 1840

I transmit a report of the Secretary of State, containing the information asked for by the resolution of the Senate of the 5th instant, relative to the negroes taken on board the schooner Amistad.

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
