Note. To the Places mark'd No. 1. Letters and Parcels are conveyed once a Day, No. 2. twice a Day, No.3 three times a Day. And considerating that several of these Places are remote, it is desired, That you put in your Letters and Parcels before 6 of the Clock over Night, at the Receiving Houses, from whence they will be collected and brought into the proper Offices ; otherwise divers of the Country Messengers going on their Walks by 6 of the Clock next Morning, they may lose a Day's Time in the Delivery : But for those Places that are nearer, Letters are collected and delivered two or three times a Day, as above specified. All General post Letters, both Foreign and Domestick, directed to the Places above mentioned, not being Post Towns, are conveyed from the aforesaid Offices every Day at 12 of the Clock : And Answers thereunto being put into the Receiving Houses in the Country Towns, will next Night be safely carried to the General Post office; an Officer being appointed for that purpose.
