To the Editor of the "Norts-Cuina Dairy News."
Sir,—I think it may interest some of your readers who rent boxes at the Chinese Post Office to know that an illicit use is being made of them by the coolies who are sent to collect correspondence. I frequently See letters as they are taken from the box scrutinized by the coolie. Some he transfers to his pocket unopened, sore he opens and the remainder put in his bag. The authorities are in no way to blame for this, their responsibility ceases when they have delivered the letters to the box.
T am, ete., R. C. Shanghai, May 7.
