THE MOLE MAIL COURIER SYSTEM OF SOUTHERN DIGBYLAND

To benefit the general welfare of the nation, the Southern Digyland Colonial Postal Administration instituted a new method of delivering senstitive government messages or official business. The Mole was chosen as the postal delivery person. 

The tunnel created by this Mole now has continuous use as the main mail route between Nedtown and the New Digby Wharf, where the fleet of the Digby Brothers is stationed.

THE NEDTOWN PEN

The Southern Digbyland Peniteniary is commonly known as the Nedtown Pen. The Pen is proud to host the Ned Digby Talk Show every day to all those who have a room. Every room has a radio. Station WAKO is the only broadcast band available in the colony, as radio is a great innovation on the Barbaru Coast.

The Digby Brothers's Company Store, that advertises on this stamp, sells general produce and household items, primarily to oil workers on the bay, or cotton pickers, or field hands from the poison ivy plantations. This poison ivy is the favorite food of the Gwogtonian migrants from the north, and also is a celebrated ingredient in the national drink, Gypsy Jezzie's Poison Ivy Moonshine. LOL

MOLE MAIL WITHIN THE NEDTOWN PEN INFRASTRUCTURE

It seems curious that the Balloon Committee should be contacting the Infirmary by Mole Mail as it was just two doors down. But this must have been an emergency, requiring for National Security, the establishment of an official Mole Tunnel between the Warden's Daughter's Office, and Nurse Nanette.

It must have been that someone was injured in a balloon popping incident and urgently required bandaid.

There is no telling for certain, as this was a secret government correspondance, entrusted to a loyal Mole.  LOL


A Short Note on the Shark Tooth Cancel

There are only three known examples of this rare cancellation from Southern Digbyland. 

It may seem odd that official government correspondance should be franked with Postage Due stamps. 

But the Southern Digbyland Postmaster General  Uriah Digby, thought it was the Patriotic Duty of every Digbylander to cough up a bit of dough for the sake of the country, no matter how and mighty they might feel in a comfy government office, or hot and sweaty they might feel after twelve hours of cotton picking, as there is no favored class system in the eyes of Ned Digby, as Ned said on his talk show just yesterday.

LOL
