TIE ADDRESS or LETTERS The Utica Her
aid lays down the following wholesome rules
for those who are addicted to letter writing.
|. Write the name in full, cschewing in
itials except for the middle name.
2. Bear in mind that the address is meant
for the information of strangers to both cor
respondents.
3. Write the names 40 distinctly that they
can not only be correctly read, but that they
cinnot reasonably be read as anything else
than the names designed.
4. lfyou have reason to lelieve there are
other persons of the same similar names with
your correspondent in his locality, add hi,
title, if he has any, or his avocation.
5. If your correspondent has fixed place
of business, slfx it to bis name.
6. In the case Of firm names, be sure you
set the right name first; for Smith & Jones
is not Jones Smith in the eye of q Post OF
fee clerk, nor Of anv accurate man.
= And having directed your letter thu,
carefully, look over the address again, before
you censure too eeverely, clerks who may not
decipher it, for perhaps you cannot read i.
yourself after the ink ha, dried.
