CORRESPONDENCE FOR FORCES IN EGYPT.
REPLY TO COMPLAINTS. (Peb United Phess Association.) WELLINGTON, February 22. Having received! many complaints of the non-delivery of correspondence, including parcels, addressed to the Expeditionary Force, the Hon. R. H. Rhodes (Postmastergeneral) last week despatched a telegraphic inquiry to General Godley, in Egypt, asking whether mails were received regularly. General Godley's reply is as follows:—" All fully addressed correspondence is delivered within a few hours of receipt. Up to the end of January mails were received weekly, but this month fortnightly parcels were received. Usually over a month elapses after the addrpsseo receives advice of a despatch from New Zealand. Probably the complaints refer to tho latter."
