GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:
The diligent attention you have bestowed to consider and mature the proceedings of this session is marked by legislative ability and fidelity to the interests of those whose confidence you represent.
The work in progress, to be completed by the general session, with the important business enacted, wrarrant the call of the Governor convening this special session.
The courtesy you have so generously extended to each other, and with so much kindness to me, in discharge of the arduous and delicate responsibilities of this position, the resolution of approval you adopted overlooking all errors, commands me willingly to appreciate your favors as a body, with the highest regard for each of you personally.
The officers, especially those more directly connected with me around this desk, have pleasantly and correctly performed their several duties with entire satisfaction.
Wishing you a happy return to your homes, I now have to discharge the last duty devolving upon me, by your order. With the concurrence of the Senate, I declare this House adjourned sine die, (from twelve o'clock to-night.)
So this special session of the House of Representatives of the Forty eighth General Assembly was adjourned without day.
