- The Postal Union rates prepay letters as far as the Indian frontier only. Correspondence for Afghanistan intended for free delivery should therefore be addressed to the care of some agent at Peshawur, who should be instructed to pay the extra postage charged by the Ameer of Cabul on correspondence passing through his territory. Mail-matter addressed to Afghanistan direct will be charged on delivery double the Afghan postage—i.e., 5 annas per “miscal,” or about 5d. for one-seventh of an ounce.
† To the United Kingdom and many other places named in a list on PAGE 3 the postage-rate on letters is 1d. for each half-ounce or fraction thereof.
