To Busins.hs ConRRSUONnKNTS, &c. — Tliougti naturally 
amiable (so friends aver.) we arc sometimes a little vexed, and 
almost provoked, nt the carvlcssnera of correspondents—good, 
wsll meaning, simsible people, who understand grammar and 
write legibly, yet wiU make mistakes of omission and com¬ 
mission which not unfrequcntly subject ns to lore of time, 
money, or good temper. A relation of our n-eent experience 
in this line would prove ,.muring to some and instructive to 
others. The number of money letters which have been 
directed to us at New York and other place* (especially 
Rochester's in other State*,) during the past month would 
astonish some of our readers; while those which omit either 
postoflice address or name of writer, are still more numerous. 
Letters containing from $5 to over $50 each often come with 
out the most important name—that of the agent and writer— 
subjecting us to much extra labor, an.) depriving the party 
sending of his rights, (free oopy, premium, he ) at least until 
we can ascertain Sometimes, before we eau obtain the 
desideratum, we receive a scolding epistle, taking tu to task 
for “bins of omission." This is pleasant, t*ry. And then, 
what initials some people wiU place before our humblu name, 
some evidently boxing the compass” of the alphabet in 
trying to get as far from tlie correct one* aa possible, and 
others mixing tilings very much 4>ne letter containing a 
draft for thirty odd dollars comes addressed T. D. Moork on 
the envelop; tlie head of the letter reads D. T Moork, and 
the draff is payable to tlie order of T D. T Mookr!— neither 
of tlie three correct! A letter addressed to H. n. Moork, and 
containing $16, came to tlie Rochester P. O. a few days ago 
There being no such person in the city, it was placed in the 
box of H. 11 MORS#, who, on opening, discovered that it was 
intended for us, (to whom it was addressed on the inside.) and 
being an upright, honrst man, (though a wool dealer!) deliv¬ 
ered it safely to the person for whom it was i o^-nded. Had that 
letter never come to band, it is more tlum probable that the 
writer (who addressed (is correctly at its head,) would have 
averred that the letter was properly directed ami mailed!—he 
being a good penman and also Postmaster Again — but we 
will not cite other instances. Suffice it that we believe many 
more mistakes arc made, and more money lost or sent astray, 
through the carelessness of letter writers, than any .other 
cause; and wc advise all interested to gitirel against errors by 
proper care and caution. '* Be sure you’re right,” See.
