Sympathizes with Combs re: latter's son. Suggests contacting U.S. Minister to Mexico through the Sec. of State. Regrets Combs' financial situation; uneasy about own financial affairs. Using him as a recommendation to Mr. Tyler only prejudice Tyler against Combs. Doesn't visit Tyler. Gen. Scott probably not help either. Wise probably best person to serve him. Doubts currency plan will pass in present or any other form. Neither party supports it.
