_To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States_:

By the report of the Secretary of War and the documents from that
Department exhibited to Congress at the commencement of their present
session they were advised of the measures taken for carrying into
execution the act of 4th May, 1826, to authorize the President of the
United States to run and mark a line dividing the Territory of Florida
from the State of Georgia, and of their unsuccessful result. I now
transmit to Congress copies of communications received from the governor
of Georgia relating to that subject.
