[No date, 1806] To the President of the United States.- The subscribers Citizens of the Territory of Louisiana, respectfully represent; That they have learned with regret, a Petition is now in circulation, in this Territory, for the appointment of a person, to succeed General Wilkinson, in the office of Governor, whom we believe will not give satisfaction to the people in general.-Without intending to dictate to the President, we beg leave to observe, that we have the fullest confidence, in the talents, and integrity of both Colonel Return J Meigs Junior, and Colonel Samuel Hammond, either of whom, should they meet your approbation, will we believe, by their mildness, and Republicanism, restore harmony to the Territory, and administer its Government, with ability and satisfaction.- [French Text] Also - Omitted here) Transcriber's note: The column of numbers before the names, represent the number placement of the signature within each of the 28 Sections. The sections represent the particular copy of the petition on which the signature appears. Some districts had multiple copies floating around and others had only one. Unfortunately, they were not all identified as to the district from which the signatures were collected thus the notation "None Noted". If there is enough interest in seeing the placement of the signatures within each section, I can make those lists also to be posted with these alphabatized lists. Contact the administrator of the Archives and secure permission for those lists to also be posted. The notation (X) after a name signifies that the signature was by mark Petitioner's Names.
