GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.[ToC]
1. You are required personally to superintend the performance of the routine work of your office and see that it is properly done.
2. This routine work should be suitably and fairly apportioned amongst your clerks—each clerk (under your superintendence) being responsible for the duty assigned to him. You will, after fair warning, report to the Postmaster General any clerk who fails correctly and efficiently to perform this duty.
