Drats! Had I known, I would have sought to have sent and received the "last" one myself and then sold it on e-Bay.

I didn't even know they still even had a telegraph division. I just thought it had died 5 or 6 years ago. Kind of makes you wonder what method of communication we'll be using just 20 years from now...

I knew you were going to say that.

Shoot! Are they still going to deliver that letter to my timetraveling partner that I need delieverd in 2015? Now I have to figure out how to fix the timeline so Western Union keeps up the service until then...
