Secretary of State James Buchanan writes to Sarah Maury and asks her to not publish two of his private letters. "If in their publication, you should state that this was done by my permission," Buchanan explains that "it would look like a preconcerted effort to bring my name before the Public with your commendation." Buchanan also thanks Maury for sending a copy of her new book, Statesmen of America. Transcript included.
