NP, RS 4/4/1863

From the Richmond Sentinel
 
April 4, 1863
 
To the Patrons of the Virginia Central Railroad 
   There is reason to believe that farmers have been withheld from sending breadstuffs to market, from the apprehension that they might be taken by the Government without paying "just compensation." The passage of the Impressment bill has removed that difficulty.
   The Company will do everything in its power to transport all freights brought to the railroad, when the cars are not preoccupied with Government freight.
   Private parties may calculate on receiving every accommodation.
E. Fontaine
President
