LETTERS FOR THE UNITED STATES BY SAILING SHIP.
When it is desired to forward letters to the United States by a sailing ship which is not noti- fied as carrying a mail, it is only necessary to post the letters in the ordinary way, marked with the name of the ship, and prepaid to cents per half ounce as usual. The Post Office then undertakes the duty of obtaining notice of depar ture and despatching the correspondence. It is
requested that the letters be posted if possible at
least one day before the date fixed for sailing.
STAMP OFFICE..
The above Office being now provided with a 3-cent die, Books of Receipts, Rent Collectors' Books, &c., can be Stamped beforehand in the same manner as Cheque Books. Loose receipt orms can also be Stamped if required.
