30 us the P.O. we passed along a few squares saw some nice stores, and came to Bradfords Corner an immense? large building in which which the P.O. was temporarly located the sidewalks in from were thronged with people eagerly looking for news from home I got in the string about one hundred back and had to wait patiently for my turn it came at last and I found three letters from home I had to pay twenty five cents postage on each that went to the express company they carry the mail from Kearney which is the which is as far west as the government carries it.
