Robinson to be charged to the Piedmont Rail Road Company |

| This is the only shipment of Iron
for the Piedmont RR in the three months. Shipments of fodder and other
animal foods are not included in this transcription (they requiring 10
pages of long forms to list). Remarks and Amount are too faint to read.
The weight transported makes it likely that the 7 chairs were chairs,
not car loads of chairs. This is almost certainly iron from the Roanoke
Valley RR, with construction being south from Danville. |
