About this book
Ramsey & Carmick, Contract. Letter from the Postmaster General Transmitting Copy of a Conditional Mail Contract; Also Copies of Correspondence Relative to the Same is a historical government document that provides a detailed account of the contractual arrangements between the United States Post Office and the firm Ramsey & Carmick. This book, originally published as a communication to the United States House of Representatives in 1838, offers a fascinating glimpse into the administrative and logistical challenges of early American mail service. The document begins with a formal letter from the Postmaster General, who submits to Congress a copy of a conditional contract for carrying the mail, entered into with Ramsey & Carmick. The contract outlines the terms, conditions, and obligations agreed upon by both parties, including the routes to be served, the frequency and reliability of mail delivery, and the compensation to be provided. The correspondence included in the book reveals the negotiations, clarifications, and disputes that arose during the process, shedding light on the complexities of public-private partnerships in the 19th century. Readers will find a wealth of primary source material, including official letters, legal language, and administrative commentary. The book not only documents the specifics of the Ramsey & Carmick contract but also provides broader insight into the workings of the Post Office Department, the importance of mail delivery in a growing nation, and the evolving relationship between government agencies and private contractors. This volume is an invaluable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the development of American infrastructure and government operations. It captures a pivotal moment in the history of the U.S. postal system, illustrating the challenges of expanding communication networks across a vast and developing country.
