Mister Mail Man and the bleak rural mailbox scene
A fragmentary piece describes desolate mailboxes across rural America with rotting posts and rusting signs. It notes local life in hard times and humor in the mail system as eggs and other items oddly substitute for stamps and money in exchanges.
Postal Route Tales From a Southern Route
By Fonville Neville the piece recounts postal duties across a fifty mile route in a Southern area with both white and black patrons. It notes frequent nonpayment for stamps and requests to leave mail in boxes and reflects on child handwriting and keepsakes found in mail.
