Nearly 50 miles! Written by Deborah d'Bajor (2/16/2004 7:34 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, The horses were post, penned by Jo Y

It was nearly 50 miles from Rosings to Longbourn. I suppose how long your horses would last would depend on the speed they were travelling, perhaps road condition and how many horses in the team - I think P&P2 shows 4 at this point.

It did occur to me to wonder how they could tell that they were Post horses???
