Letter from Millard Fillmore to Martin F. Tupper, March 22, 1852, verso

and my mortification have resulted from the same cause. I am happy however to inform you that I have the question under consideration of recognizing the independence of Liberia. I shall not, however, probably decide upon the subject until after our Presidential Election in November, as I do not wish to raise any new issues upon this delicate subject. With sentiments of the highest respect and esteem
           I have the honor to be
               Your obedt Servt
               Millard Fillmore

Martin F. Tupper, Esq.
