To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States:
The undersigned, citizens of Warren and Braceville, in the county of Trumbull, of
Windham, Freedom, Shalersville and Streetsborough, in the county of Portage, and
of Hudson, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, respectfully represent that
a tri-weekly Mail Route, to be established between Warren and Hudson, and running through the intermediate
Townships above named, is a matter of deep interest to all the inhabitants along the
whole Route, and by the business portion therof deemed wholly indispensable.
The proposed Route varies little from an air line of thirty miles in length, passing
over a well constructed carriage Road, and through a country thickly settled by an
industrious and enterprising people; and by adopting it seven different offices would
be supplied regularly with a daily mail, of which many of them, have been hitherto
deprived. Besides the accomodation resulting to the community from the enjoyment of the regular mails and the increased
facilities for intelligence, the travel by public conveyance in the opinion of the
undersigned, would be so extensive as to render the Route not only profitable to the
Department, but highly beneficial to the public.
With these facts and impressions we present this memorial, and pray that your Honorable
body may cause said Route to be established.
