        Est: $6,400 - $9,600

        [Civil War]. Jefferson Davis Letter Signed ("Jefferson Davis") as President of the Confederate States of America.  Four pages of a bifolium, 8.25" x 13.125", " Executive Office," Richmond, Virginia; November 26, 1862. Circular addressed to Z[ebulon] B. Vance, governor of North Carolina, concerning conscription and the urgent need to reinforce the Confederate Army. The circular was sent to all the Confederate governors and reads, in part: " The present condition of public affairs induces me to address this circular to the Governors of the several States on a subject of vital importance to your people. The repeated defeats inflicted on the Federal forces in their attempt to conquer our country have not yet sufficed to satisfy them of the impossibility of success in their nefarious design to subjugate these States. A renewal of the attempt on a still larger scale is now in progress; but with manifest distrust of success in a warfare... the United States propose to add to the enormous land and naval forces accumulated by them, bands of such African slaves of the South as they may be able to wrest from their owners, and thus to inflict on the non-combatant population of the Confederate States all the horrors of a servile war, superadded to such atrocities as have already been committed on numerous occasions by their invading forces. To repel attacks conducted on so vast a scale the most energetic action of every department of the Government is directed; but appreciating the great value of the cordial co-operation of the different state governments, and with unfaltering reliance on their patriotism and devotion to our cause, I earnestly appeal to them for all the aid it may be in their power to extend...  1. In the enrollment of the conscripts... 2. In restoring to the Army all officers and men now within the States absent without leave, or whose term of absence has expired, or who have recovered from disability and are now able to return to duty. 3. In securing for the use of the Army all such necessary supplies as exist within the States in excess of the quantity indispensable for the support of the people at home. Prompt action in these matters will save our people from very great suffering, will put our Army on a condition to meet the enemy with decisive results, and thus secure for us an early and honorable peace on the basis of recognized independence. In addition to the above urgent matters I beg respectfully... to command slave labor to the extent which may be required in the prosecution of works conductive to the public defense..."  Docketed in Vance's hand on page [4]. Further docketing in an unknown hand reads " Copy & file". The circular is accompanied by a hand-colored engraved portrait of Davis by Johnson, Fry & Company. Condition: Thin strip of paper attachment along right margin of page [4], presumably related to prior mounting. HID01801242017
