more grateful to me than to receive these
assurances of sympathy and support from
sister States, and especially from the Empire
States, in whose gallant and patriotic mill
tary companies have no doubt you bear an
honorable rank,
Notwithstanding the fact that / have the
utmost confidence that the sons of Virginia
will be fully able to vindicate her exalted
honor, still, in view of the inceadiafY and
reasonable efforts of misguided and la
natical abolitionists, deem it proper 10 &C

our beloved State of such u character THAT

prompt attendance, Again thanking goa
for your kindness,
remain your obedient servant,
