The first step, of course, is to write the
letter and put it into an envelope. Write
your friend’s address on the outside of the
envelope. Then write your own address in
the upper left corner.
Your address is called the “return
address.” If for some reason your letter
cannot be delivered, the post office will
use the return address to send the letter
back to you.

Moving to a new place can be exciting,
but you may feel homesick. It may mean
leaving old friends behind. It doesn’t mean
losing those friends, though. There are
many ways to communicate, even over
long distances.
Writing and sending letters is an easy,
low-cost way to stay in touch. People write
letters to other people in this country or in
other countries.

This book presents an example of a
letter sent from New York City to someone
in the country of New Zealand.
The next step is to add postage stamps.
If you are not sure how many stamps to
use, a clerk at the post office will be glad
to help. Stick the postage stamp or stamps
on the envelope. Then drop the mail into
the mail slot or the mail collection box.
Your letter is on its way!

A mail carrier picks up your letter. Then
it goes to a sorting center. The letter is put
onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt
carries it past a machine that reads the
address. Then the letter is dropped into a
bag with other letters and packages that
are going to the same place. A mail truck
takes long-distance mail to an airport.

are grouped according to where they are going

Postal workers load the mailbag onto a
plane. While you are sleeping, playing, and
going to school, your letter is crossing the
ocean. Soon your friend in a faraway place
will be opening your letter.
If you’re lucky, your friend will sit right
down and answer your letter.
Your friend’s letter will travel across the
ocean too. Once it arrives in the United
States, the United States Postal Service
begins the job of getting the letter to you.
Postal workers meet the plane and take
the mailbag with your letter to another
sorting center.
A mail truck takes the letter to the
post office near your home. Finally, a mail
carrier brings it to your mailbox.
