ENGLISH HOMEWORK HELP!!! PLz?

question: why does jake take the letter to the old wister postal station instead of the mailbox near him?

passage:

There was a mailbox at the next corner, and i stopped beside it. But to drop this letter into that box, knowing in advance that it could go only to the dead-letter office, would again, i couldn’t help feeling, turn the writing of it into an empty meaningless act. after a moment, i walked on past the box, crossed the street and turned right, suddenly knowing exactly where i was going.

plz i cant really understand what he is saying…anyone knows?
