March 29-April 2, 1683
Raguin Code: NEWS *8302

The Officers of the Penny-Post, Established by Authority, do give notice, That whereas the former Practice of keeping Holy days at Easter and Whitsontide, &c. has been found to be prejudicial to Correspondence, they are contented to give their Attendance on those days as at other times: But by reason many of the Letter-Receivers are Tradesmen, whose shops will be shut up, such Persons who write Letters then, are desired to leave them at those Coffee-Houses known to be appointed by the Office, that they may be Collected and delivered in due time.
