Should he receive an application wholly in manuscript, he may comply with it, provided the following conditions be fulfilled, viz.:
(a.) The application must be made either by the payee or remitter.
(b.) The application must contain the Order, and give the names of the payee and remitter; and, except in the case of Money Order Telegrams, the applicant must have correctly receipted the Order, or signed the request printed on the back thereof. If the Order has been lost or destroyed, an application for a duplicate of the Order must be made on Form Acct. No. 90. (See Rules Nos. 70–73.)
(c.) The Advice must be in the Postmaster’s Office, and the name of the applicant, whether payee or remitter, agree with that shown in the Advice. If the applicant is the payee, he must be able to give the name of the remitter; if the remitter, the name of the payee.
(d.) In the case of a person who expects to receive a Money Order Telegram, but who finds it necessary to travel beyond the place at which it will be made payable, an application for transfer of payment may be accepted and acted upon, provided the identity of the applicant is established and the essential particulars of the expected Money Order Telegram, such as Issuing Office, remitter, payee, and amount, are supplied. A general instruction to readdress telegrams must not, under any circumstances, be held to apply to Money Order Telegrams.
(e.) The preceding conditions being fulfilled, the Postmaster must deal with the Order received as if it had been paid by him—that is, he must date-stamp and initial it, enter it to his credit in the Money Order Paid Statement, place the Order and the Advice with the other paid Orders, and transmit both to his Chief Postmaster in the ordinary course. The application should be pinned to the Order, and the number of the new Order must be shown on the Order in the space set apart for the receipt, thus: “By new Order, No. 4578.”
(1.) The Postmaster will then issue an Order of current number and date in lieu of the original Order. If the applicant specially desires it, a Money Order Telegram should be issued. The charge for commission, and, in the case of a Money Order Telegram, the telegraph fee, must be deducted from the amount of the original Order and the new Order issued for the balance. The commission must be brought to charge in the Money Order Issued Statement, and the telegraph fee affixed in stamps to the Money Order Telegram.
