Northern Neck needs Plank Road to improve mail access
The Richmond Mail outlines the Northern Neck region bound by the Rappahannock and Potomac. It argues for a Westmoreland Court House to Port Conway plank road and onward to Milford Depot to secure a daily Richmond mail year round, urging legislative support. It notes isolation, winter river crossings, delayed newspapers, and the potential benefits to commerce and communication. The piece also mentions political shifts and a Fredericksburg association forming for social and literary aims.
