My Grandmother (living on the Essex coast) would tell me of in the 1910/20s receiving a letter in the morning from a relation asking if she could come to see her that afternoon, she would reply by post and the relative would turn up having received the reply.
Now we get one delivery a day anytime between 9.00am and 2.00pm.
