Harris, Governor of Tennessee, replies to a letter from Wharton, Mississippi's Commissioner to Tennessee. He states that when Tennessee Representatives confer again, they will be pleased to meet with Wharton "as the Representative of a sister state with which we are identified in interest and in the very nature of things must share a common destiny." He declares "There is great unanimity of sentiment in Tennessee as to the necessity of a Conferance of the southern states, for the purpose of assuring upon, and presenting an ultimatum, such as shall give perfect security to the rights of the people of the southern states ... " Letter written from the Executive Department of the State of Tennessee, and includes a printed image of Tennessee's State Capitol building at the top of the page.
