A Week's Mail from London

A Week's Mail from London.

When the Rangitata arrived at Wellington recently it brought a week's mail from London—147 bags of letters and letter-cards, 743 bags of newspapers and packets, and 216 bags of parcels. Each of those 147 bags would hold about 601b. of mail, and each pound would represent about 30 letters. There would be between 1700 and 1800 letters to the bag—an aggregate of approximately 250,000 letters.
