[il-talk] Help?

[sharon howerton]

Actually, I work for Hadley and we send international mail free matter all 
the time. We were told it now goes airmail. One of our faculty said she sent 
something to a student in New Zealand and it got there in about four days. 
Some of our faculty, if memory serves, had problems with this when going to 
the post office, but we sent from Hadley Central and the Winnnetka post 
office all the time. Trust me, if this wasn't correct, our mail person would 
never let it slide. He is very good about that sort of thing and would keep 
us who work outside of the actual school updated on the free matter 
privilege.
