To Write Omcial Letters.

What might be termed a aPoIte
Letter Writer Tor Officials Correspon-
dence" has been issued by Secretary
Gage. 1t is intended primarily for the
use of the Treasury official all over
the country when writing to the ex-
ecutive officers at Washington, but it
contains some information that will
interest the general public, in view of
the fact that every man woman and
child In this country has right and
often desire to address a letter to
the President, or one of the Cabinet
officers. After cautioning all letter
writers to head their letters with the
date and place where the letter is
written, following form is prescribed
for the address, the portion of the let
ter which really gives most persons
the greatest trouble, few know how
to address the president. This is the
form:
The name Of the person.
The title OF the person addressed,
The residence of the person ad.
dressed.
Sir Tor Madam.)
Then follows the subject matter of
the letter. Then:
Respectfully.
Signature of the writer.
His official title, if any.
1t may interest all persons to know
that 1T is useless to add such words as
personal" when writing to a Wash
ngton official, or anything indicating
that it is to be read only by the per-
son to whom it is addressed, All let
tiers received at the White House or
at any OF the departments are opened
in the mailing room and sent directly
to the bureau which may have charge
of the subject. II the letter is mark
ed personal" it is sent directly to the
private secretary of the official to
whom it is directed. That official
reads it and then uses his discretion
In the matter of laying it personally
before his chief. Every letter sent to
ali official in Washington is acknowl-
edged and then filed away. 1t may
be added the servile form of address
such as "Your Excellency," etc., when
addressing the President OF the Unit
ed States, is not considered in good
form at the White House The prop.
er form is @Hon. William Mckinley"
Incidentally it is not in good taste to
indulge in authorizations such as
"Wm." for the full name.-Baltimor
