United States Government. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, TRANSMITTING THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT AT PHILADELPHIA. (Washington), Jan. 22, 1849. 8vo, self-covered. 7, (1) pages. Removed from previous binding. Near fine. Transmitted to Congress via President Polk by Mint Director R.M. Patterson, who presciently writes, “Other statements relative to the operations of the year, and former years, are presented in the subjoined tables. In that which gives the amounts of deposites of gold from mines in the United States, two new columns are opened, with deposites received from New Mexico and California, since their annexation. The deposites received are as yet small, but there is every reason to believe that the gold to be obtained from these sources will be of great amount.” Rare.
