!. How a Letter May Be Recalled.


The public is not as familiar with
its privileges about postal matters as
might be supposed. Many times peo-
pie would like to recall a letter after
it has been mailed. This can be done,
even If the letter has reached the
postofice at its destination. At every
postof6ce there are what are called
withdrawal blanks" On application
they will be furnished, and, when q
deposit is made to cover the expense.
the postmaster will telegraph to the
postmaster at the letters destination
asking that it be promptly returned.
The applicant first signs this agree
ment: 1T is hereby agreed that, If
the letter is returned to me, will pro-
tect you from any and all claims made
against you fo1 such return and will
fully indemnify you for any loss you
may sustain by reason Of such action.
And 1 herewith deposit s. to cover
all expenses incurred and will deliver
to you the envelope of the letter re-
turned" In many cases persons have
made remittances to fraudulent par
ties or irresponsible firms, not learn
Ing their true character until after
the letter had gone. and have sue
0eeded in recalling them. There is an
instance where Kansas City mer-
chant had RENTED dishonest tray
cling man draft for $175, and by
means of a withdrawal rescued the
draft just in time.
