EXPANDING YOUR VOCABULARY

LESSON 21

Let us go to the General Post Office; I want to register this letter early, so as to catch the mail. While I register my letter, you can send a telegram to George, because it is his birthday today. The telegraph forms are on the desks, and there are pencils fastened to the desks by pices of string or chain, when you have written the telegram, give it to the clerk, and get your receipy.

On another desk, there are inkpots and pens, for persons that wish to write lettrs or postcards.
Registered parcels are weighed and examined, and their value declared. Money orders are sent in special envelopes. Registered letters are also weighed because they pay an extra postage.
It is always better to go early to the post, because, just befora the mail closes, many people hurry in, to get stamps, or register lettrs, parcels and samples; and one is obliged to wait a long time to get served, thus losing much time and patience.
