According to the information I recieved from you; I stated to the Postmaster General the situation of Lynchburg as to it’s mails, and it’s claims to a second mail every week: and I am happy to transmit you the information I recieve from him in answer to my letter.

he adds that if the mailstage Contractor will consent to an alteration, this change shall be made immediately so as to enable the place to enjoy the benefit of the improvement while disposing of their present crops.

I know not where the Contractor lives; but, if at Lynchburg, perhaps the interests & wishes of the place may induce him to accede to the accomodation. it seems that besides the addition of the 2d mail the postponing the departure from Richmond1 to Saturday 8. A.M. instead of Friday 11. A.M. remedies the inconvenience you stated of losing the benefit of discounts for a whole week. I tender you the assurances of my great esteem & respect.
