 lege, trespass, improvement, or other transaction identified by 

 an individual name or number must be treated separately. 



T'pon each letter written by a supervisor to the Forester will 

 appear, above the date line, the name of the Forest of which 

 the supervisor is in charge. Suitable stamps will be furnished 

 on requisition. All letters and telegrams should be stamped 

 with the date of receipt. The rubber stamp furnished for this 

 purpose contains space in which should be written the date of 

 reply. 



Never write a letter of transmittal in forwarding any docu- 

 ment unless some special statement about it is needed. In- 

 dorse the document " Respectful ly forwarded to the Forester," 

 add your recommendation, if any is required, sign, and mail, 

 addressing only " The Forester, Forest Service, Washington, 

 D. 0." 



All letters written to the Forester on the same day will be 

 mailed in one envelope. A special desk basket will be set 

 apart, in which all mail intended for the Washington office will 

 be deposited, with inclosures securely attached to letters. At 

 the close of the day the letters, without being folded, will be 

 placed in a large envelope and mailed. Printed envelopes will 

 be furnished on requisition.
