Nomination Delay Highlights Early Postal Habits
A Kansas City Times piece cites G. R. Turner and recounts how Zachary Taylor learned of his Whig nomination in 1848. Mail postage was paid by the recipient, so Taylor refused to accept a large nomination bundle. After two days he asked for it back, and the postmaster marked the letter unclaimed and sent it to Washington. A month passed before he learned of the nomination.
