P.O. Ironton, Ohio, Thursday February 17, 1887

Submitted by Linda Adkins

The efforts to secure postal transportation from Etna Furnace to Waterloo will be successful in the end but not now, because a new contract for carrying the route will be required. This will be made at the nest letting of the mails. The following letter to Congressman THOMPSON announces the success of the project:

P.O. Dep't, Washington, Feb'y 7, 1887. Hon. A. THOMPSON.

Sir:--I have the honor to inform you that the route from Pedro to Waterloo will be embraced in the next advertisement issued by this office for service from July 1, 1887.

Very respectfully,							A. LEO KNOTT,
							2nd A'sst P.M. Gen'l

So the route from Pedro to Waterloo will be submitted to bidders, and, of course, the contract will be let, to begin on the lst of July next. This will not only be a great improvement in the carrying of mails in that section of the country, but it will promptly secure the establishment of a new P.O. in a community that has heretofore suffered for want of mail facilities.
