On the death of President Harrison
President Tyler to Mrs. Harrison 
Dear Madame -
The acommpaning resolutions adopted 
by the Senate & House of Representatives of the 
United States will convey to you the deep 
sympathy felt by the Representatives of the 
States and of the people, in the sad 
bereavement which yourself and the 
country have [?] in the death of 
your illustrious husband. It may now 
justly be considered that the public 
archives constitute his enduring monument, 
on which are inscribed in characters 
not to be effac'd the proudest 
evidences of public gratitude for services

rendered and public sorrow for his 
death. A great and united people 
shed their tears over the bier of a 
devoted patriot and public benefactor.
In conveying to you, my dear 
Madame, the profound respect of the 
two Houses of Congress, for your person 
and character and their sincere 
condolance in the late afflicting dispensation 
of Providence, permit me to mingle 
my feelings with theirs and to tender 
you my sincere wishes for your 
health, happiness, and long life. 

John Tyler
Mrs. Harrison
