Hand-book of punctuation

by William Johnson Cocker

Palmyra, Lenawee Co., Mich.,
Sept. 13, 1877.

REMARKS.

1. The county should be given so that an answer to the letter may be properly directed.

2. If the writer lives in the country, the post-office where his letters are received, should be given, and not the place where he lives.

Hotels.—When a letter is written at some prominent hotel, it is customary to give the name of the hotel in the heading; as,—

Grand Central Hotel, New York,
Jan. 10, 1877.

Seminaries and Colleges.—In writing from a seminary, college, or university, the name of the institution is sometimes given; as,—

Female Seminary, Cleveland, Ohio,
April 11, 1877.

Position.—The heading should be written on the first line, on the right hand, commencing about the middle of the line. If more than one line is required, the second line should commence farther to the right than the first, and the third than the second.
