Oh, that'll be under an ounce, and within the parameters of a
"normal-sized" envelope. $0.34 now.
A #10 envelope with 3 sheets of 8 1/2" X 11" paper is under an ounce. A
#9 envelope (which is slightly smaller) with 4 sheets of paper is just a
hair under an ounce, IIRC (it's been 8 or 9 months since I last dealt with
that particular problem). (A #10 envelope is 4 1/8" X 9 1/2", and a #9
envelope, which is about as small as you can comfortably stuff
letter-size pieces of paper folded into thirds, will fit nicely into a
#10 envelope.)
Julia
who used to have to know all this stuff, and still didn't trust her memory
when it came to 4 sheets in a #9 envelope -- weighed each one each time at
the post office...
