To the honorable the Congress of the U.S.
Febry 1st 1848.
We the undersigned, do respectfully pray your Honorable body to establish a post route from Damascus S.C. via James Ezells to Hicksville N.C. a distance of 13 miles: as
we are destitute of Post offices; there not being any route now in [ex]istence, by which we can be furnished with mail facilities: and on account of which
we are aggrieved, and subjected to great inconveniance and trouble.
We therefore trust that the same accommodation will be afforded us, that is general
extended to other neighborhoods, by the establishment of the proposed route, by which
means our interest will be promoted, and we as in duty bound will every pray.
Spartanburg S.C.Febry 1st 1848.
