The Royal Mail: Its Curiosities and Romance

"SIR,--I
am
sorry
to
be
obliged
to
trouble
you
again
respecting
the
wires
opposite
my
house
at
----.
You
promised
in
your
favour
of
----
that
the
wires
should
be
removed
within
a
month
from
that
date,
a
great
amount
of
labour
having
to
be
gone
through.
I
was
not
surprised
that
six
months
were
required
for
their
removal
instead
of
one,
and
therefore
bore
patiently
with
the
delay,
although
my
eyesight,
and
indeed
every
one's
in
the
house,
suffered
most
severely;
but
why,
when
at
last
eight
were
removed,
should
one
be
allowed
to
remain?
Since
the
eight
have
gone,
I
have
been
able
to
sit
in
my
own
house
without
being
in
as
excruciating
pain
as
formerly;
but
still
I
am
pained,
and
particularly
between
the
hours
of
four
and
seven
in
the
morning.
If
one
wire
affects
me
so
much,
imagine
my
sufferings
when
nine
were
working!
Such
being
the
case,
will
you
kindly
cause
the
remaining
wire
either
to
be
removed
or
encased
in
the
vulcanized
tube,
so
as
to
contract
the
current.--Thanking
you
for
your
kindness
hitherto,
and
hoping
you
will
add
this
favour
to
the
rest,
I
am,"
&c.
