POST OFFICE NOTICE.
Soldiers' and Sailors' Letters.
Privates in II.M. Army or Navy, Non-commissioned Officers,* Army Schoolmasters (not super- intending or First Class) or Schoolmistresses, may now, under the usual Regulations, send half-ounce Letters to the United Kingdom viâ Brindisi or Marseilles for Threepence (6 cents) each instead of Fourpence as before, or for one penny ( 2 cents) viâ Southampton. But if these letters exceed half an ounce in weight, they will be charged as ordinary Correspondence.
It seems to be but imperfectly understood that Hongkong Postage Stamps will prepay this class of Correspondence exactly the same as Imperial Stamps.
Officers and men of H.M. Fleet alone have the privilege of using British Postage Stamps, whether of the value of one penny, or of higher values.
General Post Office, Hongkong, 14th August, 1876.
