The dotted lines on page 1 of the model represent the creases between the folds a, b, and c. a contains the Brief in the relative position shown and is folded away from b, the crease between the two being toward the reader. b begins the Body and may contain it or only a part of it according to its length. c contains the continuation of the Body or the whole or parts of indorsements, as the case may be. b and c are folded toward each other, the crease between the two being away from the reader.
Page 2 contains the body or indorsements of the letter. All pages are folded as page 1 in three equal folds.
When foolscap is used instead of the ordinary sized letter paper as above, the only difference is that there is an extra fold. Imagine this fold to be tacked on to the bottom of page 1 in the example and to be marked d. d and c would be folded just as b and c. The page would contain a third crease and be a fold longer. Otherwise the letter would be the same as the first one described.
The number at the upper left-hand corner is the filing number of the office.
It will be noticed in the seventh indorsement that three inclosures have been added. The whole transaction is noted in the proper place. The eleventh and twelfth indorsements should be noticed in the same regard.
Where “stamp” appears in parenthesis, the word does not actually occur in letters. It indicates that the office which received the letter noted by means of a rubber stamp at that particular place on the letter the date on which the communication was received or received back. In other words, what follows “(Stamp)” was placed there by some one of the office force as soon as the letter was received in that office.
The writing on all pages should begin one inch from the top. The pages, beginning with the first will be numbered serially. The number will be placed half way between the edges and one inch above the bottom of the page. In referring to an indorsement by number, the number of the page will also be given, thus: “5th Ind., page 3.”
