Richmond Virginia or Richmond New York?I been going with Virginia. A group was involved in at tail end of dates in getting transportation advanced as Richmond entered industrial revolution but i see no ties to anything else going on in area.
Virginia....though the letters are just addressed "Richmond"...but we do know most of this activity was centered in Richmond, Virginia. What is curious is that in 1862 our unknown author still had, "important business in Richmond." Now we're fairly confident that we know who he was and why he was in Richmond at the time, we're also fairly confident that we understand why he sought out Sherman, Ward, & Morriss. But, there simply had to be something else in Richmond, something of significance throughout the entire period that these men trusted and utilized?
