The Dead Letter Office return fee for the return of first class letters and parcels was 5c. The fee applied to letters and parcels without the sender?s name and address. Letters and parcels with the sender?s name and address were not sent to the Dead Letter Office but returned to the post office from the post office to which it was addressed. Two very fine and attractive examples of a solo use paying the Dead letter Office Return Fee.
