Corn" all used to get their mail two hours
after it reached Middlebury from Boston and
New York Correct. But under the pre- sent
regime West Cornwall gets that same mail
nearly p hours later. We used to be able to
get a lett9r from Boston in nine hours il now
takes 30 hours. And there is about the same
difference in time in getting your reply back
to them. The much abused old stage of our
grandfathers' days was infinitely ahead of
this kind of an Improvement.
When the route was first proposed, we were
being served as well as possible, getting our
mail six days in week within two hours
from its arrival at Middlebury, from all
quarters of the globe, the much cond emned
"star" stage route taking it through safely
and surely in blizzard and deep snow. The
mail carrier carried the children to the vii
lage to school in the morning and returned
them at night to their homes The price
charged was very small, but the pay allowed
by the government was smaller aud the price
paid by the scalpcr who bids of the routes
/ was smaller yet.
After the route had become almost n Ger
tainty, my son had some correspondence
with Congressman H. H. Powers, to whom all
the petitions had been forwarded, and stated
the case to him, and his reply was that the
star stage route was not TO be stopped, but
should be continued Just the same and the
West Cornwall postoflice was to be kept. And
on his guarantee the route was allowed to be
laid. 1t could easily at the time have beer
prevented; but il il was not to iniure us, We
had no wish to iniure others, wanting every
one to get rs good service as possible The
