Sisters giving the concluding talk in a sacrament meeting, where did my source go?

Accepted answer
I believe you have misremembered in this case.
LDS First Presidency letters to all members used to be available at http://www.ldschurchnews.com/letters, which now redirects to Deseret News. It seems http://www.ldschurchnewsarchive.com/letters has the former content of that site.
The First Presidency never issued a general statement on women giving or not giving the last address of a sacrament meeting.
FYI, two points about this tendency:
- It is highly customary for talks from visiting authorities such as High Councilors or Stake Presidents to come at the end of a meeting. These are always men.
- For the rest of the of the time, as you pointed out, it is most common for men to give the last address, though there's no policy for or against this. There's no real reason other than habit.
Another gender-based order (this time, in reverse) that is common in some places is for men to give the invocation, and women to give the benediction -- thus allowing women get the last last word ;)
