Letter to William Collamer, January 11, 1849
Primary tabs
In relation to the case of William Billings I say, I called at the General Post Office and examined the matter. I found on order a record which authorized the supply of the East Barnard office by a tri weekly mail from Barnard, but it was on the condition of it being satisfactory to the public. I found no fines had been imposed. In this state of the matter the Assistant P.M. Gen., having this matter in charge, concluded that he would make the order peremptory; and has sent me a copy of it, herewith . It now only remains to procure a certificate from the Post Master at East Barnard showing that this service has been performed from the time it so commenced (stating this time) and all will be concluded & ended. Such certificate must be sent on to the department.
Southgate case is being attended to.
Affectionately Your FatherJ. Collamer
