MR. PALMER having engaged to accomplish his Plan for the Conveyance of His Majesty's Mails to all Parts of the
Kingdom as soon as possible, the Letters for every Part of Great Britain, and Ireland, must be put into the Receiving
Houses before FIVE o'Clock in the Evening, and into this Office before SEVEN, in order to prevent the Inconveniencies
which have arisen to the Public from two Deliveries in London on the same Day, and the sending out the Mails at different
Hours on the same Evening.
The Letters likewise will 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. ·
It is necessary that all Newspapers should be put into this Office before Six o'Clock, otherwise they cannot be certain
of an immediate Conveyance.
