To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuina Datty News."
Stn,—A few days ago. I was handed a notice that'thore was a letter, insufficiently stamped, forme at the British Post Office. Téent round the twelve cents demanded and received' the letter which was carefully and fully addressed, but bearing the stamp of the Shanghai Office, showing that it had been received there on the 26th October Why it should have lain there from the 26th October to the 20th December is one of the mysteries which I fear even Mr. Solly cannot satisfactorily explain.
Tam, etc., 24th December.
