To the Editor of the "Nonta-Cuma Dany News."
Sm,—May I ask a few li other vagary of the Imp As my letter, addressed to the Head Postmaster, Shanghai (with names omitted as not entering into the principle), explains the situation I copy it and also the auawer Treceived 'The Postmaster, Imperial Chinese Post Office, Shanghai Dear Sir,—A fow weeks by British' Post, and wa house in the usual way a lotter, addrosse to Mrs,——, care of——. As that Indy is io Tientsin Iran my pen through my name and Shanghai, putting instead her address, put a one-cent stamp on it, being under well ight, nnd posted it. She' has written aving that on delivery, it was assessed to pay eleven cents. On having correspondence with your office theroshe says: He ssid China did not acknowledge the penny Postage" pointed out to him Sit had bon jolivored in Shanghai by the British Post Office," but he said it made no difference as it had come by the 1.0. P. It is not the few cents that I wish to speak of, bub the absurdity of the idea that because the letter had not been enclosed in an envelope and so sent, for that is what it amounts to, an extra charge should be made, Hoping you will look into the matter, and rectify his ideas.
Yours faithfully, ANSWER, "In reply to your lotter of the—th August, I beg to inform you that the tax collected on the cover_in question appears correct.
'B/o Poatmaster.
