Southwell and the Post Office Inquiry in 1835
Letter to the Augusta Chronicle recounts Southwell's 1595 execution and the era's literary praise, then shifts to the National Insurance Journal excerpt detailing a Senate report on the Post Office. The report exposes mismanagement, inflated contractor payments, and calls for a reorganized, more accountable Post Office structure to curb abuses.
