Memorandum Concerning Interview with W. H. Tyler and Committee1Jump to section

The President will be pleased to see the Committee at 7. P.M. today.

Feb. 17. 1863.

Annotation

[1] AE, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on the envelope containing a letter from W. H. Tyler, chairman of a committee of citizens of New York, February 17, 1863, asking an interview in which to present resolutions concerning colonization of Florida with ``armed free labor colonies.'' The resolutions prepared by William C. Bryant and adopted by a meeting at Cooper Institute on February 7 had been sent to Lincoln on February 8, and as early as November 6 and 28, 1861, the scheme had been the subject of letters written to the president by Eli Thayer (DLC-RTL).
