[1] LS copy, DLC-RTL. The copy or draft is in John Hay's handwriting. The resolution transmitted by Governor Buckingham reads in part as follows: ``Resolved by this Assembly: That our confidence in the patriotism and integrity of the president . . . remains unshaken; and that, as the representatives of the people of this state, we pledge ourselves to support and sustain him . . . ; and . . . we tender him our sympathy in the trying and difficult circumstances in which he is placed. . . . We deprecate every attempt to impute to him such evils or disasters as may have resulted from the errors of judgement, insufficiency, or culpability of subordinate officials. . . .'' (DLC-RTL).
