The Daily Dispatch: March 2, 1865., [Electronic resource], article 2 (search)
e general State elections being now at hand, when my place can be supplied without putting you to the trouble of a special election, I have thought the moment most suitable for resigning into your hands, as I now do, the remnant of my representative term. One word only, which my strength permits, in conclusion. Besides the grateful recollection I shall always cherish of the confidence and encouragement with which you have sustained me through a long career of public service, we shall still be bound together by common sentiments and common interests in the future as in the past. My constant prayers shall be addressed to heaven to make that future as propitious and glorious as heart can wish. But whatever it be, I share it with you.--"Whither thou goest, I will go; where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God; and where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried." Your friend and servant, W. C. Rives. Richmond, March 1, 1865. *
