The messenger, Friar John, was quarantined and was unable to delive Friar Lawrence's letter. Some say it's because he caught the plague but in the play it does not actually say that. Here is what Friar John says:
Going to find a barefoot brother out,
One of our order to associate me
Here in the city visiting the sick,
And finding him, the searchers of the town,
Suspecting that we both were in a house
Where the infectious pestilence did reign,
Sealed up the doors, and would not let us forth
So that my speed to Mantua there was stayed.
It kind of sounds that Friar John, instead of heading straight to Mantua, went looking for another brother "to associate me here in the city visiting the sick", so, to help him visit sick people in Verona. And as he might have predicted, because it must have happened fairly often, the authorities thought that one of those sick people was suffering with the plague (it doesn't say they definitely were, just that the authorities were "suspecting" it). The authorities wouldn't even take a message to Friar Lawrence.
