Mail schedules and postal facts from the islands article
A reader asks about mail from the Philippines to the United States, reply times, and journey durations. The article cites biweekly to weekly service, about twenty five days for a reply, and twenty five days each way for steamers, plus notes the 11 000 mile distance and a halted stop at Eniwetok between Honolulu and Guam. It also provides a broad Q and A on public notices, science, and history facts drawn from the periodical.
