(Text 10)
Now let's come to the main hall and look at some of the actual vehicles that played a very important part in speeding up mail delivery．Consider how long it used to take to send a letter across a relatively short distance．Back in the 1600s it took two weeks on horseback to get a letter from Boston to New York, a distance of about 260 miles．Crossing a river was also difficult sometimes．A carrier would sometimes wait hours just to look for a boat．For journeys inland the ride was uncomfortable because it had to be shared with other passengers．In the 19th century, in the southwestern desert camels were brought in to help to get the mail through．In Alaska, deer were used．We'll stop here a minute so that you can enter this model of a railway mail car．It was during the age of the iron horse that delivery really started to pick up．In fact the United States transported mails by train for nearly 100 years．The first airmail service didn't start until 1918．Please take a few moments to look around．I hope you'll enjoy your tour．And as you continue on your own, may I suggest you visit our stamp collection?Not only can you look at some of the more unusual stamps but there's an interesting exhibit on how stamps are made．
