dc.description.abstractA curious exhibit during this year's Maltex Exhibition was a Post Office sack from 1844 which comes from the private collection of Mr. Jesmond Borg. Visitors raised a number of questions about it and here I attempt to give a little background information to hopefully clear some of them. In 1844, Inland and Foreign mail services were still two distinct setups from one another. The Island Post Office being run by Mr. Vincenzo Mamo (1838-1849) was entrusted with the handling of local mail, while the Packet Agency which was under the direction of Mr. Richard J. Bourchier (who was the Packet Agent from 1828 up to ca. 1853), handled foreign mail. [excerpt]en_GB
