Meherrin Depot
April 5, 1865
 
Thomas Dodamead
Superintendent
 
   The train went in one mile of Junction and Mr. Angel took a hand-car and went up to the depot. The Yankee cavalry that had been tearing up road all night east of junction, on the Richmond & Danville Railroad, galloped in as he was leaving Junction. His negroes ran off and he left his hand-car and returned to the train and thence here. General Lee is reported to have been fighting hard since last night. It is said he is being driven back. His headquarters are said to be at Amelia Court-House. I do not vouch for the truth of these reports regarding Lee's army.
