Summary
Jackson opposes the post office's removal of express mail service to Montgomery, Alabama. Argues that the regular mail takes far too long to reach into the Deep South, and that without express mail the region, and most importantly New Orleans, will be virtually isolated. Signed by Jackson, the text is in the hand of a secretary, possibly A.J. Donelson, Jackson's son-in-law.
