Enquire within upon everything

Robert Kemp Philp

ii.
When
the
person
to
whom
you
are
writing
is
visiting
or
residing
at
the
house
of
another
person,
it
is
considered
vulgar
to
put
"at
Mr.
So-and-So's,"
but
simply
"Mr.
So-and-So's,"
at
being
understood.
iii.
It
is
more
respectful
to
write
the
word
"Esquire"
in
full.
The
----substituted
for
initials
is
vulgar,
and
pardonable
only
in
extreme
cases;
if
the
Christian
name
or
initials
of
your
correspondent
do
not
occur
to
you
at
the
moment,
endeavour
to
ascertain
them
by
inquiry.
iv.
When
addressing
a
gentleman
with
the
prefix
"Mr.,"
the
Christian
name
or
initials
should
always
follow,
being
more
polite,
as
well
as
avoiding
confusion
where
persons
of
the
same
surname
may
reside
in
one
house.
v.
In
addressing
a
letter
to
two
or
more
unmarried
ladies,
write
"The
Misses
Johnson,"
and
not
"The
Miss
Johnsons;"
and,
lastly,
always
write
an
address
clearly
and
legibly,
so
that
it
may
not
be
delayed
in
delivery,
nor
be
missent.
