Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I consequently avail myself of this opportunity to pub lish some Letters, Press Articles, and Recognitions having reference to James Chalmers, the originator of this stamp, the perusal of which will, I am satisfied, be gratify ing to you and to his countrymen in general for you will perceive that in every land to which the use of this stamp has spread, the name of that Dundee postal reformer is now widely recognised, and ever increasingly so, as that of the man to whom this world-wide boon is owing.
