Daniel Webster to Millard Fillmore, April 29, 1851

Department of State, April 29, 1851.

MY DEAR SIR,—I have gone over the draft of an answer to Mr. de la Rosa's note, with some care, and the revised draft is now in the hands of the copyist. I shall ask Mr. Hunter to take it to you to-morrow early, and he will either read it to you or leave it for your perusal, as you may prefer. It is a paper on an important subject, and will be much discussed in Congress, especially if the treaty should fail of ratification.

I am desirous, therefore, that it should be made to conform in all points with your judgment.

Yours, truly always,
DAN'L WEBSTER.
