Seamen's letters. It is recommended to pre-pay letters sent to seamen

As great Numbers of Letters are daily returned to this Office from the different Sea Ports of these Kingdoms, the Seamen to whom they are directed being unable to pay the Postage, however desirous they may be of hearing from their Friends and Families: It is therefore earnestly recommended to all Persons to pay the Postage before-hand, of such Letters as are directed on board any Ship or Vessel, to prevent their being returned, and opened here as dead and refused Letters.
