Feby 10/49.Sir:
Herewith please find several petitions, numerously signed, praying for mail service
which is, to my certain knowledge, very much needed. I hope you will grant the prayer
of the petition[ers?], and establish a new office at “Cross Creek Village”—situated five miles from any active office—and in a densly populated region of country.
Respectfullyyour obt Svnt
