Hope Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) In the title of the post, name the person receiving the letter and the date it should arrive. Assume all letters sent to others in the palace and London arrive the next morning. Otherwise, assume the postal riders can cover 50 miles a day. Thus, a destination 500 miles away would need 10 days to arrive. Edited June 6, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 A warning! It is a most common mistake for players, excited to get correspondance, to post a reply to a letter received the next day, then realise that their character is now posting days ahead of where they want to be! Take care to look at the date that you receive a letter before replying. I suggest that people then make a note in their 'Dayplanner' thread in their secret compendium to remind them when they can reply to said letter in the appropriate order. Perhaps writitng up the draft of the reply letter right then and there while they are in the mood, then to post it later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluff Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 A note for Christmas. As we are all at Windsor, notes send by servant are delivered within the hour, if they find somebody in their room. Delivery times outside the castle are still the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Reminder - that here in London, if one uses the postal service the letter will arrive the next day from it being sent. You can short-cut by having the letter delivered by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluff Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Dear players, In case you are wondering, I am adding some notes of the clerk called Johnson to letters for your amusement. It is a bit of background fodder. This was always going on in the background but now you can look into the mind of this civil servant. As OOC background information I want to remind you that all letters not delivered by hand are being read by authority, and yes I do mean all letters, by the office formerly occupied by Williamson. A giant operation, that cost the King a pretty penny but we actually have historical evidence for this. It is all part of the black budget of the Secret Service, funded in part by the Dover money. Now you know why being Postmaster is a political appointment For IC consequences you must realize that the King, and his government, have a pretty good idea what his courtiers are up to, including keeping dossiers on them.
