"I

Then
come
requests
for
information
about
property
that
may
be
supposed
to
have
been
left
by
relatives
in
this
country
to
persons
abroad--generally
in
America--in
which
the
Postmaster-General
is
usually
treated
to
an
insight,
more
or
less
deep,
into
the
family
affairs
or
history
of
the
writers,
the
rich
relatives
being
as
a
rule
faithfully
remembered
by
the
poor,
while
the
recollections
in
the
opposite
direction
would
seem
to
exhibit
features
of
a
less
enduring
nature.

are
a
few
