Your Petitioners would represent that a mail route from Point Commerce in Green County Ind, To Carlisle in Sullivan County by the way of Linton would greatly accomodate a strong and increasing settlement and trading community would be benefited by said the establishment of said route. And it would obviate the necessity of that part of the Vincennes [&?] Fairplay route from Linton to Fairplay.

We would represent that the present circuitous route from Point Commerce to Carlisle is by the way of Vincennes a distance of seventy five miles, which would be overcome by a distance of twenty five miles on the proposed route. We therefore pray you Honourable Body to establish the route aforesaid. And your Petitioners will ever pray.
