George Wright to S. H. Parker, February 24, 1862

S. H. PARKER, Esq., Postmaster at San Francisco and Acting Postal Agent for the Pacific Coast, San Francisco: Str: There is a paper published at Jacksonville, Oreg., called the Southern Oregon Gazette, incendiary in its character, abusive of the

Government of the United States, and treason, open or lurking, in its leading articles. Under these circumstances I deem it my duty to request that you will give orders prohibiting the transmission of the above-named paper in the United States mails or their being received at any post-office for distribution.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
