3HT Q(jQ41	w	CRITICISMS,	C	_^ES	AND	DEFENSE OF
VAIL DELIVERIES AT BAY ST. LOUIS
2h & 25 September & 2a, I878
Daily Picayune - Thursday, September 26, I878 - p 1 c 5
COMPLAINT ABOUT MAIL DELIVERY To the Editor of the Picayune:
Bay St. Louis, September 21*, 1878
In behalf of the many transient residents of this place. I would respectfully enter the following complaint, hoping that some remedy may be suggested.
Our mails arrive here at 5:^5 P. M., inplenty of time to be distributed the same evening; but for some unaccountable reason they are not delivered until the next day at 10 A. M.
Not only are we very anxious to hear from our friends and relatives at home as early as possible, but we would like to answer their letters so that they could go by the return train at 7:05 the next morning.
There is no plausible excuse that I can see for the delay.
Yours, etc.
BOARDER

THE BAY ST. LOUIS POST OFFICE
Bay St. Louis, Miss., Sept. 2Jf, 187^
To the Editor of the Picayune:
I noticed in your edition of today a criticism of the management of the Post Office.
There are two sides to this, like most other cases. • cannot be a very early riser, or he would have discovered Post Office is, the delivery of yellow fever in
"Boarder” that the
and always has been open from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. for mails—and previous to the breaking out of the the family of the Postmaster, was kept open until 10 P.M., and as soon as consistent they intend delivering the maill as previously.
Mrs. Avery and her two children have all had the fever and upon her sister, Miss Welch, has devolved the double duty of Post Master and Nurse, which duty she hqs nobly performed notwithstanding that she has never	had the	fever.
It seems	that while the people of	the South are	calling so	loudly
for sympathy and help	upon other parts	of the	country that it
fro^hT	*rte	f0r th™ t0 bear	“lth *	lit tie	inconvenience
from their suffering fellows.	iente
