I have the honor to be, madam, your most obedient servant, ANDREW JACKSON
I transmit herewith a communication from the Secretary of War ad interim, with certain accompanying papers from the Engineer Department, required to complete the annual report from that Department.
The brave men whose patriotism brought them into the field ought to be paid, but I seriously doubt whether any of the money now appropriated can be used for this purpose.
But there are circumstances in the relations of the two countries which require us to act on this occasion with even more than our wonted caution.
