Establishment Of Early Ohio Mail Routes Letter

Hello all!
This is a letter written by Frederick Wadsworth from Akron, Ohio in 1857. I wish had the actual cover, but this is worthy of postal history. He is the son of General Elijah Wadsworth of Canfield. This is his transcription of a few letters between his father; Joseph Habersham, Postmaster General of the United States and Abraham Bradley, assistant. The original letters dated to 1801 shortly after the inauguration of President Thomas Jefferson. The original letters write about the establishment of a postal route into the western wilderness which at that time was the Northwest Territory (and modern day Ohio). Frederick in this letter also refers to the influence of Jefferson in establishing a western postal route. The 1801 letters the details of establishing a mail route to Warren from Pittsburgh - concerns about mileage, rates, frequency of delivery, stages/places of refreshment, where to establish post offices and recommendations for postmasters. Frederick wrote the last part of the letter to say that the mail route went into operation in October 1801 and the carrier was a man named Gilson carried the mail to Pittsburgh every two weeks - the first federal mail route west of Pittsburgh and into the Western Reserve. Frederick himself was the mayor of Akron at one time and his father served under George Washington during the war. Wadsworth, Ohio is named after him.
