From the Residents Hill End

The Honorable
The Postmaster General

Sir

We the undersigned residents of Hill End, have the honor to submit to you that in our opinion the salary allowed for conducting the Post Office at Hill End is utterly inadequate to the proper and efficient discharge of the daily increasing duties of the Office. We would therefore respectfully urge that the desirability of increasing the remuneration may be taken into your early consideration.

We have your honor to be Sir

your obedient Servants
