toTo the Congress of the United States assembled:
Your petitioners, Citizens of Hamilton Township Jackson County, respectfully represent
that they labour under many great inconveniences in consideration that there is no
post Office in said County of Jackson nearer than 12 or 15 miles that they live in
the immediate neighborhood of a large & business Iron furnace, that they have no way
of getting letters or papers, unless at extraordinary trouble & expence, in Consideration
of the premises they ask for a new post rout from Jackson C. H to Zenos Kellers thence
to the Jackson furnace ^thence to Portsmouth^ as in duty bound will ever pray
