&nbsp;Note: From Agra, the letter was transported to Ladnun via several modes of transportation. It took more than two months for the letter to reach &quot;Agra&quot; from &quot;Calcutta&quot; (March to May). The reason for this is that the fast-moving train services had only developed up to 160 miles from Calcutta and the only means by which letters were transported to Agra was by slow-moving steam navigation on the Ganga up to Allahabad and thereafter by road couriers. In those days, daks were transported from Calcutta to Rajasthan by Agra and Kuchawan.
