Nicholas Wilcox Cundy, Inland Transit — Frederick Barnes (1834)
“ Are you concerned in the export trade? I am. 6. Do you receive some of the packages up by coach? Three or four every day from different manufactories, and always one or two from our own house. 7. Do you ever find that packages which you require to be conveyed by coach are in consequence expensive? Very frequently 8. Is that a considerable embarrassment to your trade? Very much so. 9. Have you had packages refused by the Albion, the Emerald, or the Greyhound? Yes. The answer was, "Mr. Barnes, you would not like to travel in a coach with 800 or 900 lbs, on the top of it or in the boot." ”
