The Daily Dispatch: December 3, 1861., [Electronic resource], Gov. Letcher's Message. (search)
Gov. Letcher's Message. Executive Department, December 2, 1861. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Delegates:--Since the adjournment of the General Assembly on the 4th day of April last. Virginia has withdrawn from the Federal Union, and has resumed her sovereignty as an independent State.

I will be found ready to co-operate in all measures which your wisdom and patriotism may suggest for the promotion of the happiness, for the advancement of the prosperity, for the maintenance of the rights and the preservation of the institutions of our constituents, and the perpetuation of civil and religious liberty. Respectfully, John Letcher.
