In compliance with said request I herewith transmit sundry papers,
documents, and reports which have been returned to me by the Secretary
of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of the Navy,

resolution.

said log books as are important in answering the inquiries addressed to
me by the Senate.
