| The Box of Seed (marked Ord. Stores)
was recd at this post on the 1st & forwarded the 2d April to Dr
Blair, Abingdon. |
| On investigating I find that the R Road
Agent at Abingdon {Virginia & Tennessee RR}
made a note on his Way Bill for that date that the car had
been robbed of its contents somewhere on the Mountains. The Box for
Surg Blair being amongst the missing goods, was of course never recd
by him. |
