Good
adhesive
envelopes,
not
too
highly
glazed,
of
the
ordinary
size,
are
sufficient
security
for
letters,[186]
if
the
adhesive
matter
has
been
but
slightly
wetted.
If,
for
additional
security,
it
be
thought
advisable
also
to
seal
a
letter
with
wax,
it
should
be
placed
outside
the
envelope.
Very
frequently,
the
wax
is
found
to
have
been
placed
on
the
adhesive
matter
inside
the
envelope,
thus
rendering
both
ineffective.
7.
Letters
intended
for
warm
climates
should
not
be
sealed
with
wax
at
all,
inasmuch
as
there
is
great
danger
of
the
wax
melting
and
injuring
the
letter,
as
well
as
the
other
contents
of
the
mail-bag.
8.
Care
should
be
used
in
securing
newspapers
and
large
packets.[187]
Newspapers,
when
not
sent
at
first
from
the
newspaper
offices,
should
be
addressed
on
the
paper
itself
and
tied
with
string,
as
great
risk
is
run
in
the
matter
of
covers
becoming
detached
from
the
newspapers
themselves.
Book
packets,
in
addition
to
being
enclosed
in
covers,
sealed
with
wax,
gum,
or
other
adhesive
matter
(but
open
at
the
ends
or
sides),
may
be
tied
round
the
ends
with
string,
as
additional
security.
When
the
latter
precaution
is
taken,
there
is
less
chance
of
letters
getting
within
the
folds
of
the
packet,
which
may
happen
when
it
is
not
thoroughly
secured.
9.
Valuable
packets
or
books,
if
they
cannot
be
well
secured,
should
scarcely
be
sent
through
the
post.
All
such
packets
are
liable
to
be
roughly
handled,
and
in
the
mail-bags
exposed
to
pressure
and
friction.
When
safely
deposited
in
the
mail-bags,
valuable
packets
are
still
in
danger,
inasmuch
as
the
bags
in
many
cases
are
constantly
being
transferred
from
one
kind
of
conveyance
to
another,
and
frequently
despatched
from
railway
trains
by
apparatus
machinery
whilst
the
train
is
in
motion.
