NP, RE 8/2A/1861

Virginia Central Railroad
General Superintendent's Office
Richmond, Va., July 31st, 1861
 
Notice to Persons Sending Packages to Soldiers at Manassas, Staunton, &c., &c.
   The practice of sending large packages by the mail Trains is becoming too burdensome to the train, besides causing delay, that I find it necessary to caution persons to confine themselves to very small packages, or they will run the risk of their being left, besides subject to express charges.
H. D. Whitcomb
General Superintendent
