Thursday. The latest date for accepting the orders will be noon on January 29.
Any person ordering serviced covers addressed to a local destination may collect them on February 2 from the office where the order was placed,
Covers addressed overseas will be sent forward by ordinary post, surface mail, unless there are sufficient stamps to cover airmail or
registration charges.

will be accepted over the counter at all post offices.
These will be impressed with the normal post office date stamp, and
handed back to the person presenting them. However, no time type will appear in the post mark and there will be special conditions for this service that day.
Only articles bearing an indication that they are first day covers
