    Wagon, because trucks didn’t really exist yet to any wide extent.

    I’m overthinking this but where is True supposed to be here? Did people work in offices with a lot of public foot traffic? Or is this supposed to be a library?

      I’m guessing the hotel lobby had desks for some office work like how we’d have some public PC today

        Indeed they did! For example this fancy room: https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2RGD7JF/the-strand-palace-hotel-the-strand-london-the-writing-room-2RGD7JF.jpg

        Or, with the double desks featured in this comic, but somewhat less fancy: https://www.cardcow.com/images/set1016/card00039_fr.jpg

        Given the look of things, maybe a letter writing station? I don’t even know if those were a widespread thing.

          Every hotel had a quiet writing room with the many accoutrements needed to write, seal and mail letters.
