LETTERS FOR NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS, SOLDIERS, AND
SEAMEN IN HER MAJESTY'S SERVICE.
Non-commissioned officers, private soldiers, or seamen serving abroad, can
send and receive letters for a postage of Id. , provided that the letter weigh not
more than half an ounce, the postage be prepaid, and the direction distinctly
specify the rank or class of the soldier or seaman, and the ship or regiment to
which he belongs ; but if any such letters have to pass through a foreign
country, they are subject, in addition, to a foreign rate of postage.
SUGGESTIONS TO THE PUBLIC, &c.
Facility is given to the Post Office in the discharge of its daily duties, and
greater security afforded to the public, by careful attention to the following
recommendations : —
1st. To post all letters, &c, as early as practicable, especially when sent
in large numbers, as is frequently the case with newspapers and
circulars. The trouble of the office is much diminished if circulars,
before being posted, be tied in bundles, with the addresses all in
one direction.
To make the addresses legible and complete, giving the name of the
post town ; and if there be more than one town in the kingdom of
that name, or if the post town be not well known, adding the
name of the county.
To see that every letter, newspaper, or other packet sent by post is
securely folded and fastened. When postage stamps are remitted,
they should be enclosed in paper sufficiently thick to prevent them
from being seen or felt through the cover.
Never to send money or any other article of value through the post,
except either by means of a money order or in a registered letter.
When complaint is made of letters or newspapers lost, miscarried,
or delayed, to furnish to the Secretary information as precise as
possible regarding all the facts of the case, and to enclose whatever
documents may throw light upon it.
To see that every letter contains the full address of the writer, in
order to insure the return of the letter, if the person to whom it is
directed cannot be found.
