Synopsis
A rural free delivery wagon stops at a farmhouse and the postman takes the mail from the box. A woman in a split bonnet buys a stamp from him and hands over another letter. No one drives the wagon: the horses know the route and answer the carrier's voice from the back.

A neat little "slice of life" vignette. I must disagree that there is no driver though - you can clearly see the driver's whip moving down and away as the buggy enters the scene.
