Card Text (transcribed from postcard)
St. Paul's Church (Episcopal), situated at the corner of Grace and Ninth Streets, is one of the most impressive of church edifices; in it Jefferson Davis was seated when he received the fatal news that Lee was about to evacuate Petersburg. Hotel Richmond is one of the oldest hostelries in the city; five stories high, it is spacious, convenient and popular with travelers and permanent guests.
