Mails at different Hours on the same Evening.
From that Time likewise the Letters are intended to be sent out regularly from hence between the Hours of Nine and
Ten in the Morning, so as to reach the most distant Parts of the Town by Twelve at Noon.
Notice will be given in a few Days when the Mail Conveyance upon Mr. Palmer's Plan will be established to all Parts
of Hampshire, Dorsetshire, Somersetshire, Devonshire, and Cornwall, as likewise to Shrewsbury, and to Dover.
