Sir, - Daphne Nesbitt (February 16th) asks if the letter she received three days after it was posted in Vancouver, Canada, set a record.
Alas for Daphne's hopes in this regard, a letter posted in Perth, West Australia (about twice as far away as Vancouver) on Friday January 14th was delivered here on Monday January 17th - delayed, no doubt, by the absence of a postal delivery service on Saturday and Sunday. - Yours, etc.,
Anne Cahill, Laurel Park, Clondalkin, Dublin 22.
