Abstract:
An historic letter from Confederate President Jefferson Davis to NC Governor John Ellis was returned to the state archive after an injunction halted its sale. It is not known when the document went missing but the seller had purchased it from Sotheby’s in 1982. In the letter, Davis informs Ellis that he will request that Virginia send rifle-making machinery to North Carolina.
