☞ For as much as that advantageous Design of the Penny Post Letters is not throughly understood, 'tis thought convenient to give this following Account.
THe Ʋndertakers will receive all Letters at their several Receiving Houses from 7 in the morning till 9 at night; but not after, unless the next morning will serve turn for their delivery.
That Letters to most of the remote parts within their undertaking, shall be delivered within three hours after the receipt, and in less than half the time to places nearer at hand.
And for the better Information to all Persons willing to receive the great benefit of this Ʋndertaking, there are Alphabetical Tables printing, which they intend to disperse, containing all the Receiving Houses, within the Bills of Mortality; and they hope all Ingenuous Persons will duly consider that beginnings are difficult, and therefore will for the present favourably interpret small failures in the delay of some Messengers, who are not yet so well vers'd, as a short time may demonstrate, by this Design being brought to perfection; all persons whom they imploy, being to give the Ʋndertakers security to answer defaults: And no Letters but have come safe to hand, except three or four, that are directed to persons that cannot be found.
There is also other Lists of Receiving Houses, printed for most parts of the City of London and Suburbs, &c. and dispersed in their proper places, for Direction to all Persons where to leave their Letters with
One Penny.
