Measuring approximately 5 ˝ X 4 1/8 inches this small preprinted and hand completed receipt confirms the extensive utilization of slave labor on fortifications at and near the City as Richmond prepared for the Seven Days Battles that would soon swirl around the Capitol City. The slave Booker was provided by Anne Belle Leftwich, child bride of [destined to be Colonel] Alexander Hamilton Leftwich who would serve in Co. B VMI Corps of Cadets at the Battle of Newmarket. Ordered by regular Confederate Engineer, Lt. Col. W. H. Stevens who was responsible for Richmond’s fortifications. He was promoted to Brig. General in August 1864 and is said to have been the last man to cross the Mayo Bridge the night Richmond was evacuated. All original and in pleasing condition with no rips, tears or repairs.
