Title
Irregularities in the Handling of Mail
Description
The Postmaster at Springfield tells Williams that letters are now distributed by the post office at Stratford agreeable to the intentions of the Postmaster General. Of course, those routed to Boston must be attributed to their being placed in a wrong bundle or mail at Philadelphia. Should the irregularity continue, Hodgdon will be advised of it.
