So
late
as
the
year
1842,
a
letter
posted
at
any
London
receiving-house
after
two
in
the
afternoon
was
not
delivered
at
Islington
until
the
next
morning.--Postmaster-General's
Second
Report.

During
the
progress
of
one
of
these
negotiations
the
following
memorandum,
written
by
Mr.
Bancroft,
American
Minister,
is
so
characteristic
of
his
people
that
we
are
tempted
to
amuse
our
readers
with
its
reproduction
entire.--Postmaster-General's
First
Report,
Appendix,
p.
83.
"Approved
as
far
as
'the
rate
for
sea.'
What
follows
is
superfluous
and
objectionable.
Make
your
rates
(England)
to
your
colonies
and
possessions,
and
foreign
countries,
what
you
please,
high
or
low,
one
sea-rate
or
a
dozen,
or
none
at
all;
one
inland
rate
or
a
dozen,
or
none
at
all.
What
your
people
pay
we
are
willing
to
pay,
but
not
more,
and
vice
versâ.
Our
security
is,
that
we
pay
what
your
people
pay
from
the
same
place
for
the
same
benefit,
and
vice
versâ."
[137]
In
America
letters
are
certainly
carried
much
greater
distances,
at
the
uniform
charge
of
three
cents,
than
with
us
for
a
penny;
but
it
must
be
borne
in
mind
that
there
are
no
official
deliveries
of
letters
in
the
United
States.
