Interestingly, the post was actually significantly faster in the 19th century, at least within cities. Most homes had pickup and delivery 3 or 4 times per day, so it was not unusual to send a letter in the morning post and to receive a reply the same afternoon. Nevertheless, your general point about speed is well taken. I think your question about the density of our networks is a very interesting one. I'm not sure what the answer is - it would make a great research project! I also wonder about how the intensity of ties might be different too. Thanks for the mention!
