This roll is a Civil War messenger's kit for carrying dispatch papers. Measuring 15 in. X 14 in. The bottom edge is folded over to hold papers and maps in place while reading. There are no plated metal parts, the carrying handle has wide ends to keep secured. The black stained leather shows considerable usage, still flexible and in good condition. The strap length shows that this kit held many papers and maps. A swift rider was still better than the telegraph.
