And for prevention of Delays, This is further to give Notice, That such persons as send Letters to any of the afore-mentioned Towns, and cannot conveniently deliver them into the proper Offices, are to allow a proportionable time for their conveyance from the Receiving-houses to the said Offices from whence they are dispatcht: And such Letters that are directed to the Towns most remote, and of Consequence to be delivered in the Morning, it would be convenient they should be left overnight, before the Messengers bring in their last Walks.
NOTE, That for every Letter and Parcel from these Towns to London, you are to pay One Penny at the Receiving-houses there: And from London to the aforesaid Towns, the Messenger is allowed for his own pains and Care, to take a Penny for each Letter or Parcel at the delivery, and no more.
Any person (either in City or Country) that desires one of these Papers, sending to any of the above-named Six Offices, may have them deliver'd Gratis.
