Notes
Address of the resident governor opening the Assembly session, setting out the legislative priorities of the imperial administration, delivered on February 10, 1772. Having arrived in Virginia in September 1771, Dunmore set no agenda here in hopes of building a cooperative relationship with the Assembly in the wake of the repeal of the Townsend duties.
