How to Direct Lotters.

Mn. EDITOR ;-If it would be in order at
the present time to express our thoughts up
on this subject VIC would gladly embrace the
opportunity. II the people generally would
he more careful in directing their corrc'pon-
dcncc it would be better for all parties con-
crrncd. Thousands Of important letters
have reached the Dead Letter. Or>Sc for the
simple reason that the address OF thu party
receiving the letter, was insufficient TO indi-
cate with certainty the intended person. II
letter writer's would only reflect one moment
they would readily perceive that there are in
every town different persons With n0nes hav-
ing the Same initiol letters. Now how can
we Postmasters know With certainty who
among the many is to receive thcmo We
will give our idea about this matter and f
any one can suggest better way lot them
DO it--I am sure the public, and the postmas-
ters will feel under grCot obligations to them
Tor so d5Iug. - -----
lst In directing letter to a mOn with
only one given name, il should be ,criten ia
fuH; if he has two, or more Names one Of
them. utlcast, should also be writterNout in
full, and If he is a stranger in the place il is
we'll to put it in the care Of some one who is
well known. We would shy, however, tho t
there is generally less difficulty in this mum
Der than in that which follows.
2nd. In directing letter to married
woman, ii should nlways be written with the
husbands given name, or in his care Thus.
Mrs. John Jones or Mrs. Jane JooSs in care
of John Jones. Never direct q letter TO a
married woman with only her given name
upon it unless you want the letter delayed in
the home Office. You are aware that in most
country places very much of the Post Office
matter is sent out by the Postmnsters, in the
hands of neighbors and friends. So you can
readily see what trouble and vexatiuu is lik
" TO arise out of the practice of merely put
ting on the given name of the married wo-
man. Don't do it. 1t is foolish for you.
When Lucy marricdGeorge Howe she became
Mrs. George Howe, and not Mrs. Lucy Howe.
1t is really provoking sometimes to see how
letters are directed, and it is sometimes i'm
possible to ascertain TO whom letter be
longs. 1t not very seldom happens that n
letter is opened land read 9) by the wrong
person, which would not be so if it had been
properly superscribed.
Ord. In directing letter TO an unmarried
lady or a boy the first rule holds good 10
