"A Letter on the Late Post Office Agitation" by C. J. Vaughan explores the controversy surrounding changes to Sunday operations at the London Post Office during the mid-1800s. The letter considers the significance of maintaining Sunday as a day of rest while acknowledging the needs of postal services, arguing that proposed changes were intended to lessen the workload for most postal employees and promote religious observance. The author calls for a careful, measured evaluation of those changes, defending them as a good-faith effort to strike a balance between public needs and the welfare of postal workers, cautioning against immediate judgement without understanding the full scope of the situation.
