Letter

Printed matter which served to renew the order for newspapers could be enclosed by the publisher (with the address of the recipient) in the newspaper bundles under an open envelope; these letters were promoted to reduced newspaper postage.

Wrapper

Larger units of this newspaper stamp issue are already used more frequently (mainly on the covers of newspaper parcels) as public interest in written news has increased rapidly.
