Negotiating the mail at Pine Mountain Settlement School was an ongoing dialogue during the institution’s early years. The remote location required special accommodation regarding the delivery of mail and a responsible Postmaster who could be counted on to negotiate the School delivery from the rail delivery of mail system across the mountain at Incline and the arduous journey first by mule and later by logging rail to the remote School. 

The correspondence reflects how the School was served and how they were not served and tried to remedy their difficult situation and service a growing institution.
