To the Honorable the Representative of the United States in Congress Assembled,
We the Undersigned Petioners beg Leave to State to your Hon Body that we live in the Town of Amboy and Constantia in the County of Oswego and State of New york, and Laourbing under much inconveinence in consequence of not having the mail pass through our place but once a week, and then the office being so remote ^from^ us and where we seldom have business to call us, would beg leave to Petition your [...?]Honorable Body to establish a Cross Mail Route Leading from Williams Town Post office in a Southerly direction to a Place formerly known by Amboy Corners to intersect a rout leading from Mexico to Camden, and by establishing such a Rout, would give us the mail twice a week instead of once, but as it now is, Letters and papers though of ever so much importance lie over in the office at Camden office at Camden nearly one week before we receive them, and further if your Hon. body thinks propper to establish such a rout we wish the department to establish a Post Office at Amboy Corners by the name of Manor and also to have Jonathan Randal appointed Post Master and in duty bound your petioners would every Pray
