Smiths to said Court House, a distance of about 18 Miles a Post route, We wish Post Offices established and a mail carried in said route, because many of us, who need mail facilities, on account of our interest in the coasting trade, and other branches of business, reside from 5 to 7 miles from the nearest Post office, we hope therefore, that Congress will give this Petition a favorable consideration and establish the said Post route [?]
