Consul it was eventually changed, the Kerman mail coming direct from Baft
in two days and a subsidiary service being arranged between Baft and Saidabad
From April till the end of the year no delays en route occurred worth mention
ing, and letters took from nine to twelve days from Bandar Abbas instead of the
previous three to six weeks. During the summer the Bost Office was forced by
lack of transport to discontinue the carriage of parcels, and an arrangement
was made with the South Bersia Eifles whereby private parcels were carried
by their tri-weekly caravans by the Saidabad-Tarum route. This unsatisfactory
system appears recently to have been discontinued.
