The majority are written to Flora Hiett Baker of Winchester, Virginia, between 1869-1873, with some being undated. The majority of the letters are written to Flora from family and friends before and after her marriage. Some letters are written from her future husband, Joseph Hiett. There are five letters from 1867-1869 from Flora to her Joseph Hiett before their marriage. Collection includes some letter fragments. There are three letters to and from individuals who have an unknown affiliation with Flora.","In Photograph Copies and Information, there are printed copies of Flora's life. Photographs include Flora when she was young, Flora in family portrait, and a drawing of the family's house. There is a printed copy of a newspaper article detailing Flora's 101st birthday and how she has lived through 5 United States wars. There are two printed documents from Ancestry with information on Flora and her family.","In Correspondences, 1870, three letters are written from two of her cousins. One letter is from her cousin Mick who responds to a letter she wrote him, and based on her first letter, he describes her as, \"a woman of thought, of refined feelings, of tender sensibilities, and pretty strong-minded, too, for a country lassie.\" He explains the life in the city to her and refers to her as from the country or as rustic. Mick's letters to Flora contain vivid prose and descriptions, with one such example, \"those whose hearts have been passion-tossed till the very desolation of shipwreck itself is a kind of relief -- they only can know the inestimable worth of genuine love and truthfulness.\"","In Correspondences, 1871, there are seven letters from different individuals to Flora. Some letters include additional handwriting in pencil on them. One letter addressed to Flora details the writer, Henry's, recent experiences and items sent in the mail, along with the message, \"I have caught the quilt fever and you can help me partially to recover from it by sending as your portion of th emedicine one square. Please ask Mis Hal, Mis Julia, \u0026 Miss Attie if they will not also help to cure their friend as he is very very ill, the size of square.\" The papers also include pencil writing from Flora as a response to the letter, and she writes, \"I am always sorry to hear of any of my Friends hav-ing the fever, but as I do not consider your case a serious one ... we will each take pleasure in aiding your recovery.\" Her response also describes how a neighbor arrived to their home and told them of a dead body by their gate, and her \"Pa and the Boys\" went to investigate. The letters show the sense of humor between Flora and Henry. Another letter from Camille Baker expresses her concern for Flora that her flowers died, and she asks, \"Why didn't your sisters wat-er them for you?\"","In Correspondences, 1872, there are eleven letters. One letter from a family member explains the details of Flora coming to visit in Washington D.C., and the writer explains that she will keep \"busy sight-seeing as long as you choose to remain here.\" A letter from around half a month later asks if Flora still planned to visit as they had not heard anything, and Camille Baker was \"overjoyed\" to see her cousin. Another letter to Flora explains the death of her cousin's young son, and Flora wrote a response in pencil along the paper. One letter discusses turkeys and the price of them in Washington, D.C., and her cousin Mick using details like \"the perfect healthfulness of the Mr. Gobbler\" when describing the turkeys to Flora. Along with this, the folder includes a letter written to Flora's sister, Julia.","In Correspondences, 1873, there are three letters all from Flora's brother Will. He explains \"how much pleasure a letter from home affords\" him whenever he receives a letter from her. He asks quite a few questions about a pair of pants and where to send them.","In Correspondences, Unknown Year, there are eight letters. One letter includes a piece of polkadot cloth. One letter is sent to Lizzie Baker, but does not state the sender of the letter. Another is sent to \"Ma\" but also does not include the name of the sender. Flora's writing features again on a letter to her from Susan, and she responds in pencil. Some letters come from Joe Hiett requesting her to write to him soon. One letter explains the person's daily life along with how \"the Chickens and they will not lay eggs.\" Because the letters do not contain a year, they follow a pattern by the month written on them.","In Flora's Correspondences, 1869, there are seven letters written by Flora. One letter from Flora is sent to \"My almost Bro\" where she requests him to come visit her soon. One letter to Joe describes her time at a cemetery and the beauty of it. Throughout the entire letter, she responds to different letters he sent her over time. At the end, she explains that she will now wait for his next one. Another letter to Joe includes her writing along the margins and at the top of the paper. One letter to Joe opens by discussing his fever and chills, and she describes a girl she knew who died from fever and chills, and she writes, \"remember she was but a girl and boys do not mind what hurts girls.\" Two letters to Joe are very faded, but legible.","In Flora's Fragments, undated, there are three pieces of paper written by Flora, although they do not contain the entire letter. One is a torn piece of paper. Another fragment includes a message asking for a sack pattern, and Flora writes in pencil on the paper. It does not seem like she responds to the sack patten message, but rather a different letter. Another piece includes a P.S. section where she discusses how she often writes long letters, the \"hedge fever\" going around as people worry about their hedges, and a fever that she is still recovering from. She ends her letter by saying, \"I've a crow to pick with you.\"","In Unknown Relations Correspondences, there are three letters to and from individuals whose relationships to Flora are unknown. One letter is from 1854 describing recent trips and visits with family members, from one brother to another. Another letter is from 1878 between the brothers again. The third letter is written by someone else and is undated. This letter opens, \"I almost stand alone now most every person has died that was grown when I first came to Ky. children who were small are now grandfathers or mothers.\" Later the author writes, \"What do you think of the political situation \u0026 do you think the South will ever shake off the yoke of the present government? Every thing looks glommy.\" The letter continues to describ Grant and martial law. Later, the author writes, \"This is a poor mis-erable world we live in dear Brother do let us try to get to a better.\"","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

Another letter to Flora explains the death of her cousin's young son, and Flora wrote a response in pencil along the paper.

Through expansion and various mergers, the N\u0026W grew to become a major U.S. carrier, serving 14 states. The company manufactured steam locomotives at its own Roanoke Machine Works (established in Roanoke, Virginia in 1882), and among the railroad's affiliated holdings were several hotels (represented in this collection by the Bluefield Inn and the Hotel Roanoke). Among the company's larger merger acquisitions was the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad--the \"Nickel Plate Road\"--in 1964. (Other acquisitions represented in this collection are the Atlantic \u0026 Danville Railway (1962); the New Jersey, Indiana \u0026 Illinois Railroad (through acquisition of the Wabash Railroad, 1962); and the Winston-Salem Southbound Railway (acquired and operated jointly with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, 1909).) In 1982, the N\u0026W combined with the Southern Railway to form Norfolk Southern Corporation.","The guide to the Norfolk \u0026 Western Railway and Associated Companies Collection by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement and description of the first accrual of the Norfolk \u0026 Western Railway and Associated Companies Collection commenced and was completed in March 2009. Processing of the second accrual of the Norfolk \u0026 Western Railway and Associated Companies Collection commenced in April 2010 and was completed in September 2010.","In the first accrual, materials relating to the N\u0026W and affiliates were processed as the Norfolk \u0026 Western Railway and Associated Companies Collection. The working and personal papers of Chapman J. French, distinguishable from the remainder of the collection, were separated into a second collection bearing French's name (Ms2009-034). Other materials, not related in any way to the N\u0026W were divided into various individual collections (see \"separated materials\" section).","The second accrual, in keeping with the work done on the first, was also divided between the Norfolk \u0026 Western Railway and Associated Companies Collection and the Chapman J. French Papers. With the second accrual, however, materials which were not related in any way to the N\u0026W and its affiliates, as well as N\u0026W-related memorabilia and other items which had been created for external use or created by others, were moved to a new collection bearing the name of the collector, the Wayne Perkins Collection, Ms2010-078.","Virginia Tech Special Collections and University Archives holds several other manuscript collections as well as books relating to the Norfolk \u0026 Western and its affiliates.","This collection contains materials from the Norfolk \u0026 Western Railway, several of its predecessor and subsidiary lines, and associated companies. The collection contains such items as financial and legal documents, reports, maps, plans, timetables, work documents, and printed materials.","The operations of the Norfolk \u0026 Western Railway are represented in the collection by a diverse array of materials, including such items as seniority rosters, descriptions / classifications of the company's rolling stock, and printed materials (including legal agreements and a list of Roanoke sidings and team tracks). The N\u0026W materials also include several timetables, train orders, and memoranda from the Passenger Traffic Department.  Most significantly, perhaps, the materials include a bound set of standard plans issued by the office of the company's chief engineer. The standards book includes specifications for company-manufactured or -constructed buildings, tools, signs, roadways, bridges, tunnels, appurtenances, etc. Among the remaining materials are a number of financial documents, including such materials as account statements and disbursement vouchers. Also relating to various aspects of daily company operations are several items, including a record book of clerical personnel at the Bluefield Yards; a conductor's train book, bulletins from Crew, Virginia; Passenger Traffic Department circular letters; and time return and delay reports.","The collection also includes several construction job files for the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad Company (the \"Nickel Plate Road\") projects in Ohio during the late 1950s. Included in the files for jobs at Huron, Canton, Toledo, Massilon, Georgetown, Fremont, Ironville, Cleveland, and Burbank, are maps, legal documents, balance sheets, correspondence, and reports.","Among the materials in the collection representing other companies are antebellum payment records from the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad (including payrolls and disbursement vouchers). From the Norfolk and Western Railroad are various financial and legal documents, including account statements, purchase vouchers, and reports, all largely relating to the company's reorganization. Among the many other companies represented in the collection are: the Deepwater Railway; Hotel Roanoke; New Jersey, Indiana \u0026 Illinois Railroad; Roanoke Machine Works; Shenandoah Valley Railroad; Tidewater Railway; and Winston-Salem Southbound Railway.","The Norfolk \u0026 Western Railway and Associated Companies Collection was purchased in two accruals. With the first accrual, materials that were determined to relate specifically to the Norfolk \u0026 Western, its predecessors and affiliates were retained in this collection (Ms2009-037).

He seems to have overstepped the bounds of propriety while expressing his desires in a letter dated March 12, 1912; in his next letter, dated March 28, Weigand apologizes for the transgression. Another letter is accompanied by a poem and illustration. Weigand makes frequent promises to visit Roanoke but complains of an increasingly heavy workload. Other correspondents and apparent would-be suitors are C. O. Pugh of Newport News and Harry G. Holbrook. The collection also contains a few letters between other family members, including a letter from John Marshall Clemens to his aunt, Elizabeth Pollard, regarding Clemens family genealogy.","Included among the small set of financial documents are an 1844 receipt issued by E. Jackson to D. Staley for the payment of tuition for three students and an 1859 receipt for goods purchased by Captain Jack Pollard of Jones \u0026 Steptoe (Lynchburg, Virginia); as well as other receipts.","An 1882 New Testament Bible in the collection includes several genealogical notes and newspaper clippings.
