-" TICE INNER LIFE OF THE POST-OFFICE."
[To THE EDTFOE OF THE " SPECTATOR:]
SIE,—Perhaps you may think the error too trifling for me to write about. But I should like to say that my late brother, 'Tom Taylor, was never in the service of the General Post- Office, as is alleged in the Spectator of February 9th in the notice of Mr. Baines's book, "Forty Years at the Post-Office : a Personal Narrative." My late brother was first assistant. secretary and then secretary to the General Board of Health -from its first formation in 1848-49. When that Board was -dissolved, and its duties transferred to the Home Office, Tom 'Taylor became the secretary of the Local Government Act Office till it was merged, in 1872, in the Local Government Board, soon after which he retired from the public service.— ,Dakleigh, Surbiton Hill, S.W., February 11th.
