Rural mailbox number change prompts letter to Postmaster General
A rural postal patron writes to Lawrence O'Brien jokingly urging the Post Office to reverse a mailbox number change from 308 to 558. He compares his household budget to the department's 1966-budget and offers to help by filling out cards if mail is sent free. The plea highlights postal image concerns and request for fair treatment.
