London, 1920s Photogravure By Donald Macleish From Wonderful London By St John Adcock, 1927. From The Section Entitled Public Servants Of The London Streets: It Is The Boast Of The District Messengers That They Will Go Anywhere, To Do Anything. A Telephone Message Will Bring One To Exercise A Pekinese Dog, To Fetch A Suit-case From Exeter, Or Deliver A Presentation To A Prime Minister. It Is Recorded Of One That He Was Sent For And Told To Deliver A Letter. When He Looked At The Address He Found It Was In New York. But The Letter - A Propsal Of Marriage, So They Say - Was Delivered. Photo
