WASHINGTON, _February 14, 1835_.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
I beg leave to call the attention of Congress to the accompanying
communication from the Secretary of War, from which it appears that the
"act for the relief of Benedict Alford and Robert Brush," although
signed and duly certified by the proper officers as having passed the
two Houses of Congress at their last session, had not in fact obtained
the sanction of that body when it was presented to the President for his
approval.
Under these circumstances it is thought that the subject is worthy of
the consideration of Congress.
