England. Extension of the Post

The Post-Master-General having consider'd, that it might be for the publick Service, if the Correspondence with some of the distant trading Parts of the Kingdom could by any Means be made more frequent, have digested and settled the following Scheme, to take Place at Midsummer next, of which they have thought fit to advertise the Publick, viz.

That the Post shall pass and repass every Day in the Week, (Sundays excepted) between London, Norwich and Lynn, and between London and Yarmouth, and all the intermediate Towns in those Roads.

And also between London, Abingdon, Cirencester, Gloucester, Bath and Bristol, and the intermediate Places in that Part of the Kingdom.

And also, that a new Branch will then be erected for the Conveyance of Letters three Days in every Week between Bristol, Bath, Freshford, Bradford, Trowbridge, Melsham, Devizes, Lavington, Westbury, Froom, Warminster, Heitsbury, Wilton and Salisbury.
