CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the Colonist. Sir,— Would you kindly inform me if it is compulsory for postmen to deliver letters to their proper addreßß, or are they allowed to leave them at business places to tbe care of brothers, sisters, eons, or daughters employed in business places, which oauses the one to whom the letter is addressed to have to wait till evening before they get them, thereby causing no end of trouble and inconvenience. No doubt it is handy for the postman to leave them and save their shoe leather. A letter might be ever so important, tbe sender expecting the receiver to get the letter at a certain delivery, but owiDg to the above cause he may not receive it in time. Hoping, Mr Editor, you oan satisfy me on the above ques* tion, and thanking you for your valuable space, Yours, &c, A. Victim.
[There is no question that letters should be left at the residences of the persons to whom they are addressed, provided these are within the limit of the town delivery. —Ed. Co-.]
