From the Richmond Enquirer, 5/28/1862, p. 1, c. 5

The employees engaged in the undertaking pitched in with an energy which looked as if they had been spoiling for a job of that kind for some time, and were determined to immortalize their bone and sinew by an exhibition of alacrity unusual to the sight of the citizens of Richmond.
