Ross-on-Wye Post Office copy letter book 1904-1932, comprising a manuscript record of correspondence received by the Ross-on-Wye postmaster from the Surveyor of the GPO and other officials. The entries from 1904 to 1920 are comprehensive but increasingly sketchy and summarised thereafter. The early period provides a fascinating insight into the day to day workings of the postal service in Herefordshire and the management of post office staff. Foolscap, 140pp, plus diary entries thereafter, bound in original boards with OHMS label on front.
