The railroads are in an unprecedented condition of congestion, and the
mail trains, carrying second-class matter, are from two to eight days
late in arriving at their destinations.
If you do not receive your copy of The Mentor on the day it is due,
please do not take it for granted that you have been neglected. Your
copy is probably being held up somewhere along the line. Wait a few
days before you write us; it will save us both a great deal of trouble,
and your copy will probably be delivered to you before we can reply to
your letter.
We wish it were in our power to prevent this annoyance, but as we are
helpless, we can only ask you to be patient and considerate.
