April 1848[Abie?]. B. MeadPatrick BoylanMichail CavanaghReuben PutnamJohn, BrownHugh CanidaMichael CavanaughAlfred WannenElvin WarnerAlonson Williams
We your petitioners, inhabitants of Wallingford and vicinity would respectfully ask
your aid in establishing a Mail route, leading from Blue-Island passing Coopers Grove,
Chelsea, this place, Rockville^Wallingford & Bloomsville^, to Bulbonia Grove, in Will Co, a distance of about forty five miles; with service
at least once a week each way.
We would respectfully represent that this is a route much needed by us, and will no
doubt eventually give a revenue to the department.
It is a route too, which in no way conflicts with any other route now established
by Congress.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
Wallingford, Wil Co. Ill.April 1848[Abie?]. B. MeadPatrick BoylanMichail CavanaghReuben PutnamJohn, BrownHugh CanidaMichael CavanaughAlfred WannenElvin WarnerAlonson Williams
