Express and Postoffice Clash Over West Coast Travel
A Nevada letter to The Silver State condemns Postoffice Department limits on express services west of the Rockies. It argues Wells Fargo & Co Express remains essential for settlers from Rose Creek to Battle Mountain, and denounces moves to curb mail delivery along Central Pacific routes. The writer defends Grant’s legacy while criticizing third-term ambitions.
