Enquire within upon everything

230. Crossing the Page. Do not cross your letters: surely paper is cheap enough now to admit of using an extra half-sheet, in case of necessity. 231. Return Envelope. If you write to a Stranger for information, or on your own business, be sure to send a stamped envelope with your address plainly written; this will not fail to procure you an answer. 232. Good Materials. If you are not a good writer it is advisable to use the best ink, paper, and pens. For although they may not alter the character of your handwriting, yet they will assist to make your writing look better. 233. Clean and Neat. The paper on which you write should be clean, and neatly folded. 234. Stains. There should not be stains on the envelope; if otherwise, it is only an indication of your own slovenliness. 235. Individual Respect. Care must be taken in giving titled persons, to whom you write, their proper designations. 236. Addresses of Letters. As this branch of epistolary correspondence is one of the most important, we subjoin a few additional hints which letter writers generally would do well to attend to. i. When writing several letters, place each in its envelope, and address it as soon as it is written. Otherwise awkward mistakes may occur, your correspondents receiving letters not intended for them. If there be a town of the same name as that to which you are writing existing in another county, specify the county which you mean or, the address. Thus, Richmond, Yorkshire.
