West Indies. Packet schedule

General Post-Office, October 27, 1787
Raguin Code: NEWS –8709

A Mail will be made up at this Office on the First and Third Wednesday of every Month for the West Indies.

Their Course will be for Barbadoes, St. Vincent, Grenada, and from thence to St. Kitt's and Jamaica, where, instead of being detained to receive the Answers to all their Letters from the internal Parts of the Island, they will stay but Forty-eight Hours, and return by the Windward Passage to England; and the next Packet will take up the Answers to the Letters delivered by the first.

The Packets will leave at Barbadoes all Letters for the Leeward Islands, which will be conveyed by a Brig to Dominica, Antigua, and St. Kitt's, where they will be delivered to the English Packets upon their Arrival from Grenada, and forwarded with the rest to Jamaica and England.

This is a temporary Plan, 'till another upon larger Scale can be carried into Effect.

ANTH. TODD, Sec.
