5.—The letters must not exceed half an ounce.
No handkerchiefs, jewellery, &c., can be sent, even with the covers open.

—Soldiers and Sailors have no privileges with regard to books or papers, nor can these be prepaid with foreign postal stamps.
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 notified as carrying a mail, it is only necessary to pass the letters in the ordinary way, marked with the name of the ship, and prepaid 10 cents per half ounce as usual. The Post Office then undertakes the duty of obtaining notice of departure and despatching the correspondence.
It is requested that the letters be posted if possible at least one day before the date fixed for sailing.
TEA MUSTERS.
Persons who send Mustard of Tea through the Post in this country are requested to have them made flat or square instead of round, as it is quite impossible to pack round tins securely in the mail bags.
