tiers to places within the United States.

are received in the office with stamps cut from
stamped envelopes, or with such postage
stamps as were in use prior to lSGl, or with
revenue stamps on them, are treated as " un-

local rates of postage. Georgetown being a
separate office, full prepayment by three cent

superscription might be detected and mistakes
