PAUL DILLINGHAM, Governor of Vermont to Andrew Johnson, November 13, 1866
Gov. Dillingham to President Johnson
State of Vermont, Executive Chamber, Montpelier, November, 13, 1866.
Dear Sir By the direction of the legislature of Vermont, I enclose herewith a preamble and joint resolutions, passed by them at their present session, addressed to the executive government of Canada, on the subject of convicted Fenians.
Will you be so kind as to forward these resolutions to the governor general of Canada, adding such words in their favor as shall seem to you proper? I am happy to know that we are all in accord on this subject of saving these brave but mistaken men from capital punishment.
Please accept my personal regards, and believe me, your obedient servant,
PAUL DILLINGHAM, Governor of Vermont.
Andrew Johnson, President of the United States.
