am sorry to learn from your Will
lington correspondent that the pros
pect of getting free rural delivery in
this locality is poor, and hope he may
be misinformed. The petition as first
sent to Mr.. Henry was incomplete.
Our attention was called to the same,
and the omission was supplied, so that
all the conditions required we're COM
piled with, so far as know. He also
states that she hears the petition
was signed in many instances under
some misapprehension do not know
how this can be, as Mr. Morrison and
myself obtained all the signatures,
and we we're at some pains to answer
all questions asked. I should like to
learn Of any who signed it without
knowing what they we're subscribing
to. 1t may be true that the route is
practically free delivery one now,
but it is not SO in my case. I have to
spend about an hour each day to get
my mail, and know there are large
number who signed the petition that
have to do the same, or go without it,
and it seems to me we are as much
entitled to consideration in this mat
ter as those who have free delivery.
