The Royal Mail: Its Curiosities and Romance
·
James Wilson Hyde

And
again,
the
Postmaster-General
is
begged
to
step
in
and
prevent
people
being
called
hard
names.
"I
humbly
beg
your
consideration
if
there
is
no
law
to
stop
persons
from
calling
all
manner
of
bad
names
day
after
day
as
it
is
annoying
me
very
much
in
my
calling
as
a
Gardener
and
Seedsman;
as
I
have
applyed
to
the
office
at
----
for
a
summons
for
a
little
protection
and
they
tell
not,
so
i
think
it
rather
too
hard
for
me
as
i
have
done
all
the
good
I
have
had
the
means
to
do
with
to
the
Hospitals
and
Institutions
and
all
charityable
purposes
both
in
----and
elsewhere
if
needed;
but
i
suffer
from
lameness
with
a
ulcerated
leg
not
being
able
for
laborious
hard
work,
although
i
wish
to
do
as
i
would
be
done
by.
Please
to
answer
this
at
your
leisure."
The
next
specimens
are
from
persons
out
of
employment:--
"I
am
taking
the
liberty
of
writeing
you
those
few
lines,
as
I
am
given
to
understand
that
you
do
want
men
in
New
South
Wales,
and
I
am
a
Smith
by
Trade,
a
single
man.
My
age
is
24
next
birthday.
I
shood
be
verry
thankfull
if
you
wood
be
so
kind
and
send
all
the
particulars
by
return."
"Having
lost
my
parents,
I
am
desirous
of
taking
a
housekeeper's
situation
where
a
domestic
is
kept.
Must
be
a
dissenting
family,
Baptist
preferred.
Thinking
that
such
a
case
might
come
under
your
notice,
I
have
therefore
taken
the
liberty
of
sending
to
you."
