Golden Hill, Maryland
March ___ 1917

The Fourth Assistanct Postmaster General
Division of Rural Mails
Washington, D.C.

Sir:

We the undersigned patrons of Golden Hill Postoffice living on the
road between Golden Hill and Lakesville have been informed that your
department intends to change Star Route 13231 from Wingate to 
Cambridge so that there will be no mail service between Golden Hill
and Lakesville postoffice a distance of over eight miles.  The daily
mail has been delivered to use by the Star Route carrier for many 
years, and this change will work great hardship to nearly two
hundred people unless some provision is made for a daily delivery to
us.

We, therefore, residents along the before mentioned road between
Golden Hill and Lakesville do petition you to establish a free
delivery from Golden Hill to Linas road, a point five miles from
Golden Hill and three and a half miles from Lakesville.

Respectfully,

Lingan T. SPICER
