To the Hon. Senate & House Representatives of the United States
We the undersigned, Citizens of Cape May County New Jersey, residing along the seat
coast Road, and between Tuckahoe and said Road, and Cape may Court House most respectfully
ask Congress to make the Coast Road from tuckahoe by[Littleworth?], Amos Casons and Jno. 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 [?]
