Contents printed and hand written. Departing Depot name difficult to translate but the freight was forwarded to Saltville Virginia known for its salt supplies. The Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Company was vital for transporting supplies for the Confederate Army. This railroad was later incorporated by Norfolk Southern. During the War Robert L. Owen Sr. who had been one of the engineers surveying for the railroad and who had risen through the ranks succeeded McDaniel as president. The railroad became a key supply food and troop movement route for the Confederate States Army particularly from the capital of Richmond to the interior at Chattanooga Tennessee. The V&T moved also key raw materials: copper from mines near Cleveland Tennessee lead from mines near Bristol salt from Saltville Virginia and saltpeter from caves throughout the region.
