6789. POST OFFICE, Infidelities in foreign.—[further continued].

All letters [are] opened
which come either through the French or English
channel, unless trusted to a messenger. I
think I never received one through the post
office which had not been. It is generally discoverable
by the smokiness of the wax and
faintness of the reimpression. Once they sent
me a letter open, having forgotten to reseal it.—
To Richard H. Lee. Ford ed., iv, 69.
(P. 1785)
