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 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.
