THE BIRMINGHAM POSTMASTER.
TO TIIH KDITOU OF THK STAIt. Sin, — I have just perused a letter signed "A. L Stokea." It was bluntly expressed and required a man with so mo amount of moral courage to pen. In support of part of what he writes I will r-nv that, tho Post Office in Birmingham, or Fowler's (whichever it is), is an inconvenient standing place for one at the counter. I had to wait ten minutes, to write and hand in a telegram, while the person in front of me was being served. During that time I saw a child crouching into the doorway, apparently to get out of the ram. While I was being attended to, the shivering wet little thing squirmed round my legs and asked for letters for some one. The Post Oflice official, whose manner is a very unhappy one, promptly snubbed the child by telling it to come a^ain when ho was noB so busy. I don't like meddling in what does not concern vie, but when I saw Mr Stokes' letter, I felt he was, in a measure, right in what he said, and right in saying it. 1 atu, etc., F. A. Monckton. Feilding, September 18, 18O;5.
