The letter said a public meeting would be held Feb. 2 at First Baptist Church of Glencoe to discuss the closing and to get comments from the public. Postal service officials say That process was halted, at least for the time being.  Debra Fetterly, a spokeswoman for the Alabama District of the USPS said Friday that The letter, dated Jan. 13, 2014, which was sent to P.O. box customers and provided in the post office for retail customers, was issued in error.
