of the late President of the United States were removed from Washington to North Bend, Ohio, June 26, 1841.] WASHINGTON, _June 29, 1841_. _To the Senate of the United States_: In compliance with the resolution of the Senate of the 14th instant, I have the honor to submit the accompanying reports from the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury, which embrace all the information possessed by the executive department upon that subject.[4] JOHN TYLER.

I have fulfilled my duty to the memorialists in submitting their petition to your consideration. JOHN TYLER. WASHINGTON, _July 1, 1841_. _To the Senate of the United States_: I have the honor herewith to submit to the Senate the copy of a letter addressed by myself to Mrs. Harrison in compliance with the resolutions of Congress, and her reply thereto. JOHN TYLER. [The same message was sent to the House of Representatives.] WASHINGTON, _June 13, 1841_. Mrs. ANNA HARRISON. MY DEAR MADAM: The accompanying resolutions, adopted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, will convey to you an expression of the deep sympathy felt by the representatives of the States and of the people in the sad bereavement which yourself
