November 5th: The first post office in the colonies is set up in Massachusetts. The first letter sent out is written by Mr. John Clough.
November 6th: Mr. Clough's letter is sent to the wrong address.
November 7th: When Mr. Clough learns of this and complains, the official post office spokesman replies: "We're new at this. We're new at post officing. So, we probably weren't steeped in protocols that establish the relationship between letters, addresses and how to connect the two. We're just new to this."
