Horatio King writes to J. H. Weeks, Jr., and explains why Weeks will not receive President James Buchanan's autograph. "I regret that I have no autographed letter of President Buchanan that I am willing to part with," as King notes. In addition, King tells Weeks that "you apparently [have] mistaken my son for me." King served as Postmaster General in President Buchanan's administration from February 1861 to March 7, 1861 while his son, Horatio Collins King, is a member of the Class of 1858.
