About This Item
James Buchanan was president from 1857 to 1861. He previously served as secretary of state from 1845 to 1849 and represented Pennsylvania in both houses of the U.S. Congress. Robert Tyler, son of John Tyler, was a leader in the Democratic Party of Pennsylvania and promoted the political career of Buchanan. When Buchanan went to London as U.S. ambassador, Tyler kept him abreast of developments at home. When the Civil War broke out, a mob attacked Tyler's home in Philadelphia, and he fled to Virginia, where he served as register of the Treasury of the Confederacy.
Autograph Letter Signed, Wheatland, July 5, 1852, when he was temporarily out of office, to Robert Tyler. “I have received your favor and we are all happy to learn that Mrs. Tyler & yourself will be with us on Thursday. I need not assure you both that you shall receive a most hearty & cordial welcome. I shall take it for granted that you will be here by the morning train unless you should advise me otherwise. I shall be at the depot to meet you. Mr. & Mrs. Platt are also coming up on the same day.” Fine, on blue paper. Buchanan and Tyler carried on an extensive correspondence.
