Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 17: A Protestant Magazine for Armed Forces Personnel; February 1959

Pursuant to your orders, I have traveled here over the Overland Mail from Atchison, Kansas, to Placerville, California, making the trip in fifteen days and two hours.

I have investigated delays in the mails and regret what I must report. At St. Joseph, Missouri, the frequent failures of the Eastern railroads to connect with the California mails are said to be due to the enormous freight trains now being carried on the Wabash Valley Railroad. Also I must report that the St. Joseph and Hannibal Railroad across Missouri is in wretched condition, with the trains running Off the track constantly. Such an accident caused a failure of the Eastern mail to connect with the Overland Stage the day I left Atchison.

At Atchison, the agents of the stagecoach company are in the habit of dumping the mail, sir, upon the sidewalk or the floor of their Office where the mailbags remain day and night under the feet of the public.
