Letcher, Governor of Virginia (1860-1864) replies to a note from Vance, Governor of North Carolina (1862-1865). Discusses Colonel James P. Dillard, 70th Regiment, North Carolina militia. Writes, "On enquiry I can hear nothing of the criminal therein mentioned. If he can be found and arrested, I will cheerfully deliver him to you on requisition.
