A Letter to the Postmaster-general, Reviewing the Recommendations of his Annual Report in Favor of a Postal Telegraph (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781021455734)

In this brief but influential work, William Orton argues for the establishment of a postal telegraph system in the United States. He points out the many benefits that such a system would have for commerce, communication, and public safety, and refutes the objections that have been raised against it. His arguments were influential in shaping public opinion and policy on this issue for years to come.
