Hardly olden days.

Up till the mid 1980's most correspondence was sent by regular mail or postal service. This means writing a letter, putting it an envelope, addressing the envelope, adding a stamp (as postage duty) and then depositing the letter in a letterbox or at a post office.

The postal service then sorts the letters, batches them according to area and street, the letter is then delivered to a home letter box by a post or mailman (car, walking, bicycle).

In the early 1900's mail was shipped to a town (once sorted) by rail, air and vehicle for delivery.

Earlier than that mail would have been transported between cities and towns by horse and rider (or stage coach).

If you need to get the letter there right away, you can send it by Express Mail; it costs more to send it this way, but it will arrive the next day. If you are not in as much of a hurry and you send it by First Class mail, it will generally arrive in 2-3 days.
