How often did the Royal Mail deliver during the Victorian Era?

But don’t forget, because there was no telephone, the majority of personal communication was via the mail. I would think that most people in Victorian times (at least the educated ones) wrote many more letters compared to today. So the volume of mail would be high.

I once read a story, perhaps apocryphal, about a British gentleman’s reaction to the invention of the telephone: “The Americans might need this invention, but we do not. We have plenty of errand boys.”
