POSTMASTER'S APOLOGY

[HILL

(Sir Rowland, 1795-1879, Originator of Penny Postage)]
Fine Formal Letter on Hill's behalf to Mr Sulivan,
regretting the inconvenience owing to the delay in the delivery of the letter from Hungerford... it is intended as a general rule that those General Post letters arriving in the morning for the suburbs of London which cannot be sent out for delivery by the earliest dispatch should not be delayed beyond the hour at which all the morning Genl Post letters have heretofore been delivered... the letter from Hungerford forms an entirely exceptional case. It appears to have been missorted at the Hungerford Post Office and thus by some circuitous route to have reached London too late to be sent out by the 1 o'clock dispatch. Mr Hill trusts that Mr Sulivan will not often be subjected to inconvenience arising from an irregularity of this kind..., 3 sides 8vo., Genl Post Office, 4th December
