Washington, D. C.: GPO. Very Good+. 1844. Softcover. Interesting original 8 page government document detailing a claim made by postal carrier, Milus W. Dickey who had a contract to deliver the mail from Maysville, Ky. to Lexington, Ky. -- but the contract was annulled, in Mr. Dickey's view, without sufficient cause. This is the committee report which ultimately recommends that the government give Mr. Dickey back pay. According to the report, Mr. Dickey delivered the mail by means of a four horse post-coach. .
