Notes
Address of the resident governor opening the Assembly session, setting out the legislative priorities of the imperial administration, delivered on November 2, 1762. In this address, Fauquier turned to Assembly's focus from military to domestic concerns, particularly those effecting Virginia's trade and commerce. Apparently, the replies of the Council and the House of Burgesses were not published.
