The undersigned Your memorialists would respectfully represent, that the public interest would be verry much advanced by establishing a mail route from Dorr M^cHenry County Illinois, thence to Hebron and thence to Richmond in said County, at that place to Connect the Wheeling and Geneva Lake route a distance of about twelve miles, The route proposed would be a Cross route, and would pass through a highly fertile and densely populated section of Country where the inhabitants are to a great extent deprived of any mail facilities whatever, and it is presumed would be of no expense to the Government of the United States.
