While there is clearly something wrong in such
strange differences in the cost Of transporting pud

joice rather than grow the situation 1t would
be blessing to us if we could send plum puddngs
any other article OF similar weight and nature
through parcel post to our home localities at any
thing like the price. To be able to send plum
pudding from London to Honglong by quick mail
and in security for about 60 is really something
TO brag OF and not 10 grow about. In this country
it will nearly that much send pudding fifty
