| Abstract: | The Malta Post Office Notice of 8th June 1853 mentions, interalia, that boxes for the reception of letters and newspapers would be sited at the Post Office in Valletta and at Chief Police Stations throughout the Island. The boxes at police stations were only wooden receptacles inside the stations where there was also a glazed frame where letters for delivery were displayed. The Government of Malta in 1860 decided to erect letter boxes in different parts of Valletta. [excerpt] |
