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.
