§ Captain CrookshankThe time of transmission of mails between London and Paris has been accelerated by the use of the new direct service, but on account of the variable delay resulting from the operations of Censorship and from transport difficulties in France I am unable at present to give a useful estimate of the time occupied in conveyance from sender to addressee. I shall, however, be glad to have inquiry made into any cases of undue delay on production of the relative covers of the letters.
