The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1857-11-13

ScRUPULoUs DELIcAcY IN REGARD TO DEAp
LKTTERs.-Every Postmaster, once quarter,
returns all the letters for which he can find
no claimant to the Department at Washing
ton. A confidential clerk breaks the seal of
all these, and opens them, but does not read
line. He simply ascertsins il there is any
thing in them. II there is MOI, they are with
out further trouble packed away for burning,
and ali consumed by fire in an oven prepared
for the purpose, so that nothing shall Escape.
If, however, there is any sum of money, or
any valuable, however trifling, the letter and
contents are handed over to another clerk,
who simply examines the name and address,
and then encloses the whole back TO the wri-
ter. The rest of the letter he is forbidden
to read, If the writer cannot be found, the
letter Ia then carefully preserved, with Its con-
tents, for years, until every chance Of its be-
ing reclaimed, has died away. During the
last quarter twelve thousand six hundred and
ifty-fve dollars was received Ia about twen-
ty-two hundred letters at the dead letter of
flee. Not quite fifty thousand dollars year
is generally thus received in about ten thou
sand letters, or about, on an average, FIVE doll
lars letter. Of this 1t is calculated that
nineteenth are returned to the senders.
