1861 February 16

Levi W. Lawler writes to Governor A.B. Moore on February 16, 1861, explaining the delay in raising the $100,000 for the state's defense, noting that only $60,000 was collected due to the Legislature's assembly and the suggestion to wait for the sale of state bonds. He expresses his disappointment in the delay but reaffirms his readiness to assist in the defense and supports the secession movement, urging the border slave states to join the Confederacy.
