Improvement of the post. Letter carriers to have a ticket on their chest and a printed schedule. Bellmen

His Majesty's Postmaster General being desirous to render the Six Day Posts, which have been established at a great Expence to most of the considerable Towns in England, Scotland, and Ireland, as universally beneficial as possible, have been pleased to order the Letter-Carriers to go round their respective Walks with their Bells every Night in the Week, Sundays excepted.

The many Instances of Letters being delayed by the Persons entrusted to bring them to this Office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, as likewise of their not putting them into the Receiving-Houses, in order to embezzle the Penny it has been customary to give with such Letters on those Days, has induced their Lordships to give Directions at the several Receiving-Houses to take in, both Foreign and Inland Letters, to the usual Hour, every Day in the Week, except Sunday, without any Gratuity.

All Persons who may be obliged to sent their Letters after that Hour to the Bell-Men, should be cautious whom they trust therewith, to prevent their being either detained till the next Day, or destroyed for the Pence.

Each Letter-Carrier will for the Future, besides the usual Ticket at his Breast, be furnished with a Printed one of the Hour he is daily dispatched from hence, in order to produce it to such Persons as may desire to be satisfied their Letters are not delayed.

ANTH. TODD, Secretary.
