This document shows that William Fowle bought a fifty-cent ticket to Winchester. Fowle was a commission merchant who resided at 711 Prince Street. Born in Marblehead, Massachusetts in 1783, he became president of the Alexandria Canal Company and President of the Bank of Old Dominion. Before his death in 1860, Fowle had established one of Alexandria's leading families.

George P. Wise was born in Virginia about 1806. He also established one of the city's prominent families. In 1836, 1837, 1838, and 1842, this dry goods merchant applied for and received licenses to operate taverns at various locations in Alexandria. (Stagecoaches frequently picked up and dropped off customers at taverns).

A second manifest dated March 22, 1836 shows passengers traveling from Centreville to Fairfax and from Alexandria to Washington. (Note that the letterhead design includes a steamship ferry suggesting that overland and water travel were offered by this transportation company. However, no documentation about this company could be located).
