(e)
Foreign
letters
should
invariably
have
the
name
of
the
country
given
(in
English
if
possible).
It
ought
also
to
be
given
in
full.
Letters
addressed
"London,
C.
W."
and
intended
for
London
in
Western
Canada,
have
not
unfrequently
been
sent
to
the
West
Central
District
in
London,
and
so
delayed.
Letters
addressed
to
"Hamilton,
C.
W."
have
also
been
mis-sent
to
Hamilton
in
Scotland,
the
initials
having
been
overlooked.
(f)
The
street,
&c.
should
be
given
on
all
addresses.
Well
known
persons
and
firms
get
their
letters,
&c.
regularly,
although
this
rule
may
not
be
adhered
to;
but
the
omission
frequently
leads
to
delays
in
the
general
distribution,
and
sometimes
to
serious
mistakes.
In
large
towns
where
many
names
of
firms
approximate
in
appearance
somewhat
to
each
other,
the
addresses
of
letters
cannot
be
too
fully
given.
With
London
letters,
this
rule
should
be
strictly
adhered
to.
(g)
The
number
of
the
house,
and
the
correct
one,
should
be
carefully
added.[184]
When
information
of
this
sort
is
kept
back,
hesitation
and
delay
frequently
occur
in
delivery;
though,
perhaps,
few
letters
eventually
fail
to
reach
their
destination
on
this
account.
5.
Every
letter
should
be
examined
with
care
before
it
is
dropped
in
a
letter-box,
in
order
to
see
that
it
has
been
securely
sealed.
Thousands
of
letters
are
posted
yearly
without
any
precaution
of
the
kind
having
been
taken
with
them,
the
Post-Office
authorities
having
to
secure
them
as
a
consequence.[185]
Not
only
so,
but
twelve
thousand
letters
are
yearly
posted
without
any
address
at
all.
