Can anyone provide any additional

Thanks! Maybe you could scan or take a photo of the Georgia Pacific “logo”.
I’ve attached the only GP letterhead scanned to date. Obviously, it is from the R&D receivership era.

There's a letter from the president (1916? Or so) in Southern News Bulletin terminating the use of the SR and arrow, and introducing the new one.

Re: Richmond & Danville "Despatch"
Bro. Webster says that "despatch" is a variation of "dispatch."
Apparently both are correct.

The Oxford English Dictionary lists both spellings with equal status. “Dispatch” is by far the more common spelling, uniquely so in the 16th, 17th, and 18th-century examples. “Despatch”

Re: Richmond & Danville "Despatch"
Ike,
Per a dictionary, "despatch" has the same meaning as "dispatch", but was a common spelling in the 19th century before dispatch became the more common spelling.

Re: Richmond & Danville "Despatch"
I “get” the two spellings but why did the railroad(s) chose to use the archaic version on car sides but not the contract wording? …..I’ll go with Bill Schafer’s “Victorian” era concept.
