LESSON 168.
LETTER-WRITING--CONTINUED.
THE SUPERSCRIPTION.
+Parts+.--The Superscription is what is written on the outside of the
envelope. It is the same as the Address, consisting of the Name, the Title,
and the full Directions of the one addressed.
+How Written+.--The Superscription should begin just below the middle of
the envelope and near the left edge--the envelope lying with its closed
side toward you--and should occupy three or four lines. These lines should
slope to the right as in the Heading and the Address, the spaces between
the lines should be the same, and the last line should end near the lower
right-hand corner. On the first line the Name and the Title should stand.
If the one addressed is in a city, the door-number and name of the street
should be on the second line, the name of the city on the third, and the
name of the state on the fourth.
