POST OFFICE NOTICE.

The Officers of the Post Office cannot undertake either to affix Stamps to correspondence, or to see that servants purchase or affix the proper amounts.

Nor can they undertake to find articles intended for Registry, which have been posted as ordinary correspondence, without asking for a receipt at the time.

N.B. Servants to whom correspondence for Registration is entrusted should be told to ASK (orally) FOR A RECEIPT, and not to give up the article until they have made it understood that one is required. Nothing else will do. Messages in chit-books or on pieces of paper generally escape attention until it is too late to attend to them.

W. C. H. HASTINGS,

General Post Office, Hongkong, 6th May, 1899.

Acting Postmaster General.
