And future generations will, if they think of them at all, marvel at a curiosity as distant for them as gas mantles and ducking stools are for us. ‘You mean people used to send a message in ink on paper and someone in uniform stuck it through a hole in your door? Wow. That’s cool,’ I can hear my grandchildren say.
