I found this definition at this site:

"The weight of United States letter size paper is given in pounds per 
500 sheet ream of uncut C size paper. For the letter size paper, a 
sheet is cut into 4 pages so that a cut ream of letter size paper, 500 
letter size sheets, weighs 5 pounds if the paper is nominally 20 pound 
paper. "

Generally speaking, paper used for typing and stationery is in the 
65-75# range. 110# paper is getting into the card-stock weight. I just 
had some 40-page booklets printed on 70# paper with 80# covers.
