LETTERS DELAYED;
ADDRESSED WRONG
According to information received by
i Postma ;ter Love, the delivery of many
1 letters intended for Alaska is greatly de
! laved, and in some cases the letters are
lost, because of the failure of the senders
to write “Alaska” in lull on the envel
opes. The impression has gone abroad
that the name of our territory can l>e ab
breviated, and the postal authorities are
now endeavoring to convince the public
that letters thus addressed are usually
sent to Alabama or find their way into
the dead letter office, instead of being
forwarded to Alaska.
“Ala.” is the proper abbreviation for
Alabama, and “Aka.,” which is often
written for Alaska, does not mean any
thing to the postal authorities.
The people of Xenana ami elsewhere
| in Alaska can save themselves an unnec
essary amount of annoyance and incon
venience, resulting from the delay and
loss of letters, by suggesting to their
friends and business correspondents in
the States that they write Alaska in full
I on all mail intended for the North.
