THE POST OFFICE AGAIN.

(Ty the Beditor of the “Cuisa Mail/") Sin, I request a brief space in your widely-road journal to air a grievance against the postal authorities.

Last Monday morning I posted at the Hongkong General Post Office a letter to a lady friend residing in Robinum Road, making an appointment for the following Wednesday.. All Wednesday afternoon I remained at home to await her arrival, but was all in rain. I subsequently learned that up to that time the letter had not renched her, and have just had a chit saying is arrived on Saturday morning! It had thus taken over five days to be enveyed

it

from the G. P. O. to Robinson Read.

How it is possible for this sort of thing to happen is a riddle to me--and it does happen all too often: In futurs instead of using the post my friend and I shall utilise

our husbands as the mediums for the delivery of our communications. We think it will be surer and quicker.---Tours, etc..
