To the Editor:

Here is one indication of the sad state of Post Office deliveries. Today, August 22, I received in the mail a statement from the Tax Department of Princeton. The statement is dated August 3, the envelope in which  it came is postmarked August 4. It was mailed “Neopost First Class Mail.”

Eighteen days to arrive? Even more remarkable given that I live less than a mile from the Tax Department.
