99.-the rebel conscription law.
Jeff Davis's letter to Gov. Brown of Georgia.
Executive Department, Richmond, May 29.
dear sir: I received your letter of the eighth inst., in due course, but the importance of the subject embraced in it required careful consideration; and this, together with other pressing duties, has caused delay in my reply.
The constitutional question discussed by you in relation to the conscription law, had been fully weighed before I recommended to Cong in Georgia, the answer must have been in the negative.
Your noble State has promptly responded to every call that it has been my duty to make on her; and to you, personally, as her Executive, I acknowledge my indebtedness for the prompt, cordial, and effective cooperation you have afforded me in the effort to defend our common country against the common enemy.
I am, very respectfully, your ob't serv't, Jefferson Davis. His Excellency, Joseph E. Brown, Governor of Georgia, Milledgeville.
