All right, so I have an express being sent on a Saturday to a destination that ought to take it about 24 hours' travel time. Here's my question: did the mail travel on Sunday? I know that stage coaches etc. would not have done so, and that private persons were not supposed to do so. But what about mail, and particularly an express? Should it arrive on the Sunday before church if it was sent on Saturday morning? Or Sunday night after nightfall? In the early hours of Monday morning? Or on Monday after sunrise?
Thoughts would be appreciated!
