1835 Sept 12 Petition

To the Senate and House of Representatives of Congress

 

We the Undersigned petitioners do petition your Honourable body to grant

us a post rout, running through the counties of Conway, Pope and Johnson

in the Territory of Arkansas, beginning at Lewisburg on the mail rout

from Little Rock to Fort Gibson, thence to Glasses village eighteen miles

to Hawkins Gregory, thence to Absaloms Sims fifteen miles, thence to Isaac

Browns ten miles. Thence to Charles Perrys fifteen miles, thence to E. B.

Alstons fifteen miles where it will intersect the mail rout from Little Rock

to Fort Gibson, we your humble petitioners respectfully represent to your

Honorable body that the greater part of the Citizens living near said rout

live twenty or twenty five miles from any post office and we labour Under

great Inconvenience in consequence thereof, we humbly represent to your

honorable body that the rout above designated runs through a dense

populated Country and we confidently believe that a mail route established

there will be productive of revenue sufficient to defray all the expenses,

and we pray that the Gentleman above named may be appointed post masters at

the several places designated.  They being Gentlemen of good moral character,

we your petitioners in duty bound will ever pray &c. Sept the 12th 1835
