Air mail

Mailing was the only way of communication. It must have been frustrating for most people. Not being able to communicate within minutes. When I am texting and the other person is taking longer than five minutes I get mad. Not knowing if your loved one is still alive and they are impatient to receive letters insuring that they are ok is a pain. Fast communication is a big part of our society today. Receiving a letter from a family 10 days later is not a quick way of communication. Some people would receive letters after their loved one was killed.
