I have presumed to address you on the subject [of?] an application for Establishing a post Rout through [th?]is vicinity; with an office thereon, of which it is proposed I should be P. Master: The petitions for which will be shortly be laid before your Committee by the Hon. members from Lanr. & Chester. My Reason for thus trespassing on your notice, is, that you may have a correct understanding of the position in which I stand as an applicant for a P. Office. We have several times applied for a Rout, but the leading interest being Whig “the powers that were” doubted the Expediency of granting our prayer. I have thrice applied for an office at my place, meeting with as many denials; the last time “for reasons which the department deemed sufficient” However immediately after my last application, (through the interest of the leading Loco in this Co^y) the department granted a temporary office called “May” to a Loco citizen living among the hills one mile south of me. That office was granted last May for the term of one year (as the P.M: Robt Evans tells me) and he gets $25. pr An. for carrying the mail from the office on the Rout above. The contracts are to be renewed next year. Should you deem it expedient to grant our prayer for a rout, Could you not Establish an office at my place to go into opperation next June or July? My place is much the best location, and since my opponent has Received party favour, I may dare trust in that gallant phalanx to which I have always adhered. Further I refer you to Mr. Strohm.
