1T was stated ia the last annual report

during six mooths past, out Of 200, ,OO0
dead letters received at the department,
bat 80 sol, being less than one-half,
were susceptible of such return. The
large number of letters written by per.
sous in the military service of the United
States, whose locality could not be ascer-
tanned, contributed very considerably to
this result; but the proportion Of ordinary
dead letters, which cannot or should no
be restored to the writer's is found to bt
a.peA greater than was anticipated before
making the experiment.
