Description

This executive document, printed for the 28th Congress, contains a formal message from President John Tyler to the House of Representatives regarding diplomatic relations with Spain. In response to a House resolution from June 1844, Tyler transmits a report from Secretary of State John C. Calhoun, which includes a copy of the 1814 instructions provided to George W. Erving upon his appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary to the Spanish court. The document serves as a cover for these historical diplomatic records, which the House requested be made public for the first time.
