We the undersigned inhabitants of the town of Lynchburg and vicinity in the Counties of Highland and Clinton in the State of Ohio beg leave respectfully to represent that a post route for a weekly mail is much needed in the direction hereafter described, and that it will accomodate if established a large and populous section of country, and that the inhabitants along the proposed route can only communicate with each other at present by a long and circuitous route, the transition of a letter frequently occupying more time than is required to transmit one across the Atlantic. The route proposed is as follows: From Wilmington, Clinton County to Georgetown, Brown County; leaving Wilmington every Thursday morning, passing through Morrisville, Martinsville, Lynchburgh, Dodsonville, Pricetown, Buford, Newhope to Georgetown at 12 noon on Friday; leaving Georgetown every Friday evening at two o’clock and returning to Wilmington every Saturday evening. We would, therefore, respectfully ask that the aforesaid route be granted and your petitioners &c.
