Very truly and faithfully yours,
John Tyler.
It will be remembered, that on the 19th of February, the President received information from Philadelphia, by a copy of a telegram said to have been forwarded from Governor Pickens through Augusta to Montgomery, that the Governor was urging an immediate attack on Fort Sumter. This information the President at once communicated to Mr. Tyler. The following notes disclose what Mr. Tyler learned:
[MR. TYLER TO THE PRESIDENT.]
Tuesday, February 19, 1861.
My Dear Sir:—
I do not believe a word of it. My last despatch from Judge Robertson is wholly different. I am at the moment so engaged that I cannot hasten to you. I will as soon as I can.
Respectfully, your friend,
John Tyler.
Wednesday, February 20, 1861.
