Winborn Adam Wiggins Jameson Transcript
State of Maine
To the Honourable Senate & House of Representatives
in Legislature Assembled
Respectfully represents
Winborn Adam Wiggins Jameson, that he
is extremely dissatisfied with the dimensions of his
present name. It is as long, cumbersome useless
as an old-fashioned queue. It has three more Capitals
in it than has any Nation under the Sun. One part of it
is somewhat older than our Grandmother Eve herself.
For these and various other reasons which perhaps it
is unnecessary to state particularly, your Petitioner prays
that he may be allowed to drop this uncouth appendage
to his family name, and in lieu thereof to take the name
of Charles, and as in duty bound will every pray.
