them as official, and with a printed stamp,
for single or double postage, with suita-
bic device. These envelopes are to be sold
at all the post Offices, at the price Of the
stamps now sold-with the very small addi-
ton Of the actual cost of the envelopes.
This will enable persons to deposit their
letters, prepaid, in the post Offices at all
hours, without trouble or inconvenience, and
without the risk Of having double postage
charged on letter, by reason Of the stamp
slipping off, by the time the letter gets in
the office, if not before, as is too often the
case now. 1t will also admit of the safe
transmission of letters by private hand. when
preferred, without violation Of the post
Office laws, which after the first of October
will be very stringent on the subject.
