| Your petitioners, the Mail Agents on the
South Side, Virginia & Tennessee, East Tenn. & Virginia and the
Orange & Alexandria Rail Roads would beg leave to represent, that
the present Pay allowed them by the Post Office Department is
altogether inadequate for their support, at the present exorbitant
prices of every article of consumption (being only $800 pr annum).
We would therefore respectfully ask that you would at the earliest
practicable moment pass an act increasing our pay to such seems as
may be sufficient for the exigencies of the times. |
| Very truly and Respectfully |
| Your obt. servt |
