Letters posted without proper direction or prepayment.

Letters posted without any direction, or addressed so imperfectly that they cannot be forwarded to their intended destinations, and also unpaid or insufficiently paid letters addressed to countries to which letters cannot be sent without the postage is pre-paid, are returned to the writers through the Dead Letter Office.

Information not to be given.

No information can be given respecting letters which pass through a post office except to the persons to whom they are addressed.

Redirection of letters.

Parties desiring their letters and papers to be re-directed should send an intimation to that effect in writing to the postmaster of the office from which the letters and papers are to be re-directed.

Postmasters are allowed to re-direct letters to the known places of residence of the parties to whom they are addressed, after allowing a reasonable time to elapse without their being called for.

No extra charge.

Letters and papers are not subject to any additional charge when re-directed from one post office in Canada to another post office in Canada.
