Agreed on the telegraph – it was phenomenally important for transmitting time-sensitive information. And because so many people read that kind of information in newspapers, the last (heavily subsidized) leg of its journey to the masses happened through the U.S. Post.

There is no question that the mail was used by the overwhelming majority of Americans for personal communications, but the telegraph still was used to distribute mass amounts of information to the masses through the distribution of telegraphic news dispatches.

(Yes, I know the post office also served a similar purpose. However, we can estimate some of the value of having access to telegraph news through the auctions of New York Associated Press franchises.)

P.S. I am happy to see you are still working on the Post Office stuff.
