No one writes to the Colonel

Letters will work like charms or talismans for the invalids of the Convalescent Depot,’ wrote Captain Young, after he cajoled the Directors of the East India Company into setting up a post office in Landour. On October 1, 1837, as Queen Victoria ascended the British throne, the Post Office Act XVII came into force and Landour’s first post office began operating from the Chowk. Afterwards, in 1909, the General Post Office shifted to Rolleston House on the Mall in Kulri, while Landour became a Sub Post Office. Initially, the mail totalled less than a hundred articles a week, which by June 1935 peaked at 1,31,562 articles, all wonderfully managed by one postmaster and his two able assistants.
