Afl mails are made up at inVtWo -office's named. Thus it frequientljr happens that residents-com-plain of delays in the transmission of V -their letters. For instance a letter reaching Palhierstdn addressed to Bunnythorpefrom Wellington Bay on Friday, would not be forwarded to its destination before the following Monday night; i and the person to whom it was addressed " v w'otild probably not get it till next day. tf has a letter which- took about twelve ■ : .hours i to travel frqm Wellington to Pal- " inerston would not reach its destination ; ,a, distance- of some Six miles further on v.uij.dorJ'hre^i days 1 This rather peculiar, •- *,rraßgemerit has caused considerable an-; titnes to the settlers, .wha I 'thinks that a daily mail would not entail; i ; any ! serious' additional resources of the; . v department, and would >be of infinite!
