Nicholas Wilcox Cundy, Inland Transit — John Dillon (1834)
“ If you had the accommodation to write to Coventry and receive an answer in the evening, would that be a great advantage? A great advantage to our business and to all our customers generally; a particular advantage to London, where the coaches leave in the morning and few in the middle of the day, to be able to receive an article from Coventry within the twelve hours; if it be only thirteen, one hour more, it compels us to wait till the next morning, the twenty-four hours. ”
