Correspondence of JAMES K. POLK
FROM REVERDY JOHNSON
Sir:

In behalf of the committee of arrangements for the inauguration of the President elect, I enclose you the programme of the ceremony.1

REDY JOHNSON

LS possibly in John C. Fitzpatrick’s hand. DLC–JKP. Probably addressed locally.

  1. Enclosure not found. Johnson refers to Arrangements for the Inauguration of the President Elect, on the Fifth of March, 1849 , by Johnson, Jefferson Davis, and John Davis—the Senate Committee of Arrangements—which was published as a pamphlet without any publication information. It also appeared, with slightly varying titles, in the Washington Daily National Intelligencer, March 2, 1849; the Baltimore Sun, March 3, 1849; and the Washington Daily Union, March 3, 1849.
