Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has asked me to remind those that place boxes in Missouri that a special use permit is required. They'd like to encourage owners of existing boxes to "get legal."
A link to their policy can be found on the LbNA Park Policy Page:

Message from MDC:
The listing you have posted for MDC refers only to groups of more
than 10 people needing to get a Special Use Permit to take part in
certain activities on conservation areas. This is an existing
regulation in our Wildlife Code. Additionally, a new Geocaching/
Letterboxing policy took effect in March, 2009. This policy
requires that anyone wishing to place a container (geocache or
letterbox) on a conservation area must first request a Special Use
Permit from the area manager. If approved, the person placing the
container must comply with a list of Conditions and Considerations,
in addition to the standard rules attached to a Special Use Permit.
There are restrictions including no more than 2 Special Use Permits
per person on any approved conservation area. There is no charge
for a permit and the permit is good for one year at a time.
We have tried to get this information out to many of the geocachers
in Missouri and on geocaching.com. However, I don’t think the new
policy has been shared with letterboxers. With numerous fish,
forest and wildlife management activities taking place on MDC areas,
it is essential that the manager approve placement of any container
and know of the locations. In scanning the web site I notice many
letterboxes on conservation areas with no indication that Special
Use Permits have been obtained. So essentially these are all
“illegal” and would be considered littering which is a violation of
the Wildlife Code of Missouri (subject to a fine), and can be
confiscated by area staff or Conservation Agents. But don’t be
alarmed, it is not likely that they would be! We encourage
geocaching and letterboxing on our areas when and where appropriate,
if it does not conflict with our mission and primary uses of our
areas. It’s a great way to get kids and families outdoors to enjoy
nature and trails, different habitats, etc. However, as we do now
require permits for this, what is a good way to get the word out so
that everyone can be in compliance?

UH-OH! .. I just looked at the Missouri State Park policy and they lump
geocaching & letterboxing together, including this statement that you are
supposed to include in your cache/box:
... It is part of a worldwide game. You have found a Geocaching or
Letterbox site. These
games basically involve a player to hide a "treasure" (this container and
its contents) and
publish the exact coordinates or directional clues on the appropriate Web
page so users can
go on a "treasure hunt" to find it. The only rules are: if you take
something from the cache,
you must leave something for the cache, and you must log your visit in the
logbook. Hopefully, the person that hid this container found a good spot
that is not easily found by uninterested parties. Sometimes, a good spot
turns out to be a bad spot, though.
IF YOU FOUND THIS CONTAINER BY ACCIDENT:
Great! You are welcome to join us! We ask only that you:
. Please do not move or vandalize the container. The real treasure is just
finding the
container and sharing your thoughts with everyone else who finds it.
. If you wish, go ahead and take something. But please also leave something
of your
own for others to find, and write it in the logbook.
It seems to me that this is an open invitation to remove a stamp from a
letterbox.

listed on the left sidebar are:
Rubber stamp
Treasure hunt
Letterboxes
and.. TOILETPAPER !?!?!?
Very odd! Is the connection "litter" on the trails?
