Now, therefore, I, andrew johnson, President of the United States, do hereby recommend to the people thereof that they do set apart and observe the first Thursday of December as a day of Thanksgiving to the Creator of the Universe, for their deliverance and blessings.
And I do further recommend that, on that occasion, the whole people make confession of our National sins against his Infinite goodness, and with one heart and one mind implore the Divine guidance in the ways of National virtue and holiness.
