THE FRANKlNG PRlvILEGE.-POST
OFFICE CIRCULAR.

The frequent violations 0fthe ffankisg priv

1t proper, in the opinion of that officer, 10 issue
the following circular letter:
Post Office Circular.
PosT OFFICE DEpARrnEkr,
May a, 1854.
1t having come to the knowledge of the de.
partment that large numbers of circulars have
lstely passed though the mails under the forged
marks Of members Of Congress, and knowing
that, in many instances, persons having the
rsnking privilege greatly TO their annoyance,
often requested to frank letters and packages
for others, merely to avoid the payment OF post
age, deem it my duty to call particular atlen-
ton to the following provisions of the act of Sd
March, 1926, ON this subject, viz:
"SEc. u. .Asd Se Il ysss&ev essesel, That

And ifany person, having the right to receive
his letters FIRE of postage, shall receive enclosed
to him any letter or packet addresse to person
not having that right, it shall be his duty to re-
