Until the development of horse-drawn mail services then the coming of the railways accelerated postal communications from the 18C onwards, things were indeed a little slower. For centuries, sending a letter and receiving a reply over a round-trip of just 200 miles was a hazardous undertaking lasting possibly a fortnight or even more.

Well, there was the mail system. They also had men who were trained to quickly carry messages on horseback. I forget exactly what they were called though. Hope that helps. In America there was the Pony Express. (YeeHaw)

Before 1876 when the telephone was invented, people had to find other ways to get messages back and forth to each other. They had to send telegraphs, or letters in the post. Some used pigeons or sent the letters on horseback.
