The officer who directs postal messengers or oversees the postal system.
"St. Paul is a wonderful town. It is put together in solid blocks of honest brick and stone, and has the air of intending to stay. Its post-office was established thirty-six years ago; and by and by, when the postmaster received a letter, he carried it to Washington, horseback, to inquire what was to be done with it. Such is the legend."
Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi (1883).
