ABSTRACT

The post a arrived at Monkshaven three times in the week; sometimes, indeed, there were not a dozen letters in b the bag, which was brought thither by a man in a light mail-cart, who took the better part of a day to drive from York; dropping private bags here and there c on the moors, at some squire’s lodge or roadside inn. Of the number of letters that arrived in Monkshaven, the Fosters, shopkeepers and bankers, had the largest share.
