Whereas, a mail Route has been established by law from Alligator in Columbia County to Onlusta Settlement in the same County; and Whereas, the mail is only to be carried to that settlement and then back on the same Route to Alligator, thereby only affording a very indirect means of communication with the more Eastern Part of our State, and the same time denying mail facilities to a large number of citizens of Columbia and Duval Counties; and whereas, to continue the aforesaid mail Line from Onlusta, via New River and Clay Still to Gary’s Ferry, would be of great convenience to those citizens now destitute of all mail advantages, and cost very little additional expense to Government: Therefore,

Section 1^st Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Florida, in General Assembly convened, That our Senators and Representative in Congress be requested to use their exertions to get a law passed at the present session of Congress, to extend the mail Line from Onlusta in Columbia County to Gary’s Ferry in Duval County.

Section 2^d Be it further resolved, That the Governor be and he is hereby requested to send a copy of this preamble and resolution duly certified to each of our Senators and representative in Congress.
