SOLON ROBINSON, 1836 67 



Must our hard earned homes be wrung from us by the 

 cold blooded speculator & our families be driven forth 

 again or will the President interfere in our behalf — 



We cannot believe that if there is any law that will 

 sanction him in the performance of so blessed an act, 

 that Andrew Jackson will ever suffer honest citizens of 

 this republic to be trodden under foot by such gross in- 

 justices — 



We most earnestly pray that the President will take 

 our case into consideration & cause us to be informed 

 of our fate at as early a day as possible — 



We are Proud of the glorious day & opportunity of 

 subscribing our names as American Citizens — 

 Lake Co. Ia. July 4. 1836

 We the undersigned, neighbors of the above petitioners

 our prayer that they may if consistent with law be re- 

 lieved from their present unfortunate condition —

 T. H. Ball says that Herlitz did not come to Lake County until 

 1837 or 1838.
