Letters addressed as above which are only partially prepaid, are to be
rated as if _wholly_ unpaid, credit being given, however, for the amount
prepaid thereon. Thus, if a letter weighing more than ½ an oz. but less
than 1 oz. and liable to two rates (equal to 10 cents) is prepaid only 3
cents, it is subject to a further charge of 7 cents.
The charge on local or drop letters is one cent for each letter, which
must be pre-paid by stamp.
The charge for the Registration of a letter is 2 cents to be pre-paid by
stamp.
CANADA AND NEWFOUNDLAND.
Letters for Newfoundland are charged at the rate of six cents per half
ounce, and must in all cases be _prepaid_.
The Registration fee to Newfoundland is the same as to places within the
Dominion, viz.: 2 cents.
