Harris, Governor of the State of Tennessee, to the patriotic Mothers, Wives, and Daughters of said State: Whereas, The approach of winter admonishes us of the necessity and importance of providing warm and comfortable clothing, blankets, &c., for our large and gallant army of patriotic volunteers, who are nobly battling for the maintenance of our rights and independence, and the defence of our altars and our homes; and a state of war renders it difficult, if not impossible, to draw our usual supply of winter clothing from other markets, we must therefore rely upon our own resources, which are doubtless aard all articles to such points as the necessities of our troops may require. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State to be affixed, at the department in Nashville on this 23d day of August, A. D. 1861. [L. S.] Isham G. Harris. By the Governor: J. E. R. Ray, Secretary of State.

Threatened with invasion, all good citizens will regard it as a patriotic duty to make any reasonable sacrifices to repel the invaders. Regiments are now in camp and organized, while others are ready to organize, but, for want of arms, are not prepared to take the field.
