Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 24. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), chapter 1.44 (search)
e did not reject the dangerous honor with more stability? Will you not permit the Government to the ark, now borne above the waters of strife, and its chief banner the olive branch? Grant this, sir, so that the prayers of wives, mothers, and children may ascend to the Throne of Grace from the deepest recesses of their hearts, not only for the welfare of the country, but also for your long life and prosperity. You would feel that you had not only committed an act of justice, but mercy, to release one whose days are numbered, whose feet are already chilled by the breeze from that unseen, undiscovered country, and to hear in your dreams (as in your waking moments), borne upon the wings of the howling winter tempests, the whispered zephyrs of spring, the hum of the summer's life and the soft, dewy airs of autumn, the prayers from millions of hearts- God bless him in time and eternity, for his mercy endureth forever. your Petitioners. V. E. Davidson, Petersburg, Va., July 4, 1896.
