View Item:

September 2, 1850
James Buchanan writes David Myerle to congratulate him and to remissness on how Myerle helped provide a "domestic supply of water rolled hemp" for the United States Navy. While "the object would doubtless have been eventually accomplished," Buchanan observes that "[Myerle's ] efforts have hastened the time & thus greatly benefited the Country." Buchanan also explains that he has "retired from public life, probably forever." Transcript included.
