If he is in the country, the name of the
post-office should be on the second line, the name of the county on the
third, the name of the state on the fourth. The number of the post office
box may take the place of the door-number and the name of the street, or,
to avoid crowding, the number of the box or the name of the county may
stand at the lower left-hand corner. The titles following the name should
be separated from it and from each other by the comma, and every line
should end with a comma except the last, which should be followed by a
period. [Footnote: Some omit punctuation after the parts of the
Superscription. ] The lines should be straight, and every part of the
Superscription should be legible. Place the stamp at the upper right-hand
corner.
+Direction+.--_Write six Superscriptions to real or imaginary friends
or acquaintances in different cities, carefully observing all that has
been said above._
+Direction+.--_Write two snort letters--one to a friend at the Astor
House, New York, and one to a stranger in the country._
