We wish a post rout established from Somerville via Fayette corner & Estanaula to Denmark to go twice a week on horse back. the distance is say 28 miles and the mails should leave Somerville Denmark on Wednesday^s & Sunday^s at say 6 o’clock in the morning & reach Somerville by 6 in the evening—leave Somerville on Thursday^s & Monday^s at 6 in the morning & reach Denmark at 6 in the afternoon—this would connect with a mail running twice a week from Jackson to Denmark but coming no further in this direction

At Estanaula we have no post office at all.

At Fayette Corner we get our Western mail by way of Somerville Covington & then to Fayette Corner—or it is carried on to Bolivar & then back by the cross route to Fayette corner—either way is

---

almost as bad as no mail at all as it comes but once a week and being brought by so many cross routes all of which are liable to their delay^s our papers do not sometimes reach us till two or three weeks after the regular time

If you will suggest this matter to the proper authority at Washington and use your influence to get the rout established you will very much oblige your undersigned constituents
