Condition: Fine. - Over 70 words penned on 10 inch high by 8 inch wide embossed Satis paper. Writing as Secretary of State with the annotation "Private" at the head of the letter James Buchanan responds to Secretary of the Navy John Y. Mason regarding the case of Midshipman James B. Yates who has been neglecting his studies despite frequent admonishment and light discipline. "I have not one word to say in his defence nor any request to make. I would merely suggest, that should you determine to dismiss him, you would suffer him to remain until I could write his father, Dr. Yates, so that he might come on & take him home, if he thought proper." Signed in full "James Buchanan". Folded vertically and horizontally for mailing, else near fine. Prior to being elected as President of the United States, James Buchanan (1791-1868) had served as a U.S. Congressman, U.S. Senator, and minister to Russia, subsequently being appointed as President James K. Polk's Secretary of State. As president, Buchanan supported the South and Pro-Slavery positions, intervening to assure that the Supreme Court would rule in favor of slavery in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case. He also supported Southern attempts to have the Kansas Territory's entry into the Union as a Slave State. Buchanan, the only U.S. President to remain a bachelor, had a close relationship with William Rufus De Vane King, sparking many speculations in later days.An attorney, judge and politician from Virginia, John Young Mason (1799-1859) served as a U.S. Congressman and subsequently as a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia. He served as Secretary of the Navy from 1846 to 1849, and subsequently as Attorney General of the United States and then as U.S. Minister to France.The young Midshipman James B. Yates, failed to respond to subtle pressures from George P. Upshur, the superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy, who had determined that the young Midshipman had been neglecting his studies and failed to turn up for half a dozen recitations claiming he was unprepared. Events came to a head when Yates left the navy yard without permission on January 24th, 1848, and disappeared for the day only to clandestinely return late that night. Upshur suspended him from everything but his academic classes and informed the Secretary of the Navy, reporting that sadly Yates was "learning nothing, literally nothing valuable at this School" and expected him to fail. Upshur considered him "altogether unfit for the navy.".
