And the increase of free letters
within the last two years, has
actually Cost tho Department 1888 Col 90

at this time existing against the Department.

establishment, under the franklin. privilege of III
oihcers by whom II Is conducted aud II appears
that, hom the Departments Of State, Treasury.

be equal to 6S5 235 single free letters in yro,.
and tina, by far the greter proportion of iben are
sent The full distance for which the highest rae
Of postage could be chargeabIe The average pos
tage on these letters, if not free, ii is believed
would be not less than 1Si cents each which
would amount to SOB 4ol dollars and So cents
This estimate is exclusive of the Offices of the Al
,orney General, AdJutant General, Commtssary
General Inspectors General Quartermaster Gene.
raj Paymas,er General and Superintendent of the
Patent Office all Of whom have tie privilege OF

II is believed that the annual of free letters
would not fall short of a million of dollars exclu-

partner, itself. This is annual contribution by
the d apartment 10 the Government.
