Alexandria meet. is about twenty seven
miles southeast of Alexandria. Cuipepper
Court House is about sixty two miles from
alexandria, on the road to Charlottesville.
Gordonsviile is about eighty eight miles
from Alexandria, on the same railroad
and is where the Richmond and Char,

being about eighty eight miles from Rich

Roads, on the Norfolk side, and is abont
ten miles from Norfolk and about six m;les
from Fort Monroe and vessels cannot mass
from Fort Monroe to Norfolk without
