NP, HT 2/8/1865

From the Houston Telegraph
 
February 8, 1865
 
   The {Houston & Texas} Central train Monday was detained by the washing of a culvert near Navasota. It arrived eight hours behind time. The train arrived yesterday as usual. On neither day was any mail received except from way stations, all the stages having failed to make connections, as well as the Washington County train. The Brazos river is out of its banks in many places, and at Cannon's Field near Courtney, the water is said to have set back to the railroad embankment. We need not look for regular mail for a day or two.
