Answer :
In the short story 'The Letter' by Dhumaketu, the post office symbolized a place of pilgrimage for Ali as he went there every single day to check if the letter from his daughter, Miriam, had arrived.
The following lines from the story supply the answer :
1. 'Beholding the wooden arch of this building, the old man was filled with the joy that the pilgrim feels when he first sees the goal of his journey. On the arch hung an old board with the newly painted letters "Post Office."
2. 'At last they had all gone. Ali got up too and saluting the post-office as though it housed some precious relic, went off.'
