§ Mr. Wilfred PalingLetters for London collected from street posting boxes in Liverpool and Bootle at 6 p.m. are due to secure first delivery the following weekday. There have, however, been occasions recently when, due to fog and other causes, the trains carrying the mails have been late and the connection has not been secured. Everything possible is done, in close collaboration with the railway companies, to avoid delays.
