Mr.. EDrroR-I only regret that have not
forwarded you all the refusals have received
at the hands of this department.
It is imbecility itself, or it surposes that we
are imbecile to accept as satisfaction, such an.
swers as these.
The increase asked for does not relate to
Fair Forest and Monticello only, but to all the
offices beyond each, and the mail at each ofthose
places is now collecting weekly, and no adequate
force to carry it on. Yours, ETC., -
R. w. JOHNSON.
