Money letters. Drafts payable to bearer should be cut in halves

To prevent the Loss of entire Notes or Drafts payable to Bearer in Letters put into any Post-Office or Receiving House, the Postmaster-General repeat the Recommendation so often inserted in the London Gazettes, and circulated by Hand-Bills throughout the Kingdom; namely, To cut all such Notes or Drafts in half in the following Form, to send them at two different Times, and to wait for the Return of the Post till the Receipt of one Half is acknowledged before the other is sent.

And, when any Cash, in Gold or Silver, or when any Rings, or Lockets, &c. are sent per Post from London, particular Care should be taken to deliver the same to the Clerk at the Window, or to the Clerk of the Money-Book, at the General Post-Office; and, when any such Letter is to be sent from a Country Post-Office it should be delivered into the Hands of the Postmaster.

ANTHONY TODD, Secretary.

N. B. The Note is to be cut exactly where it is marked with a black Line, first writing the Date and Year at one End of the Note, and the Number at the other End, by which Means each Part will contain a sufficient Specification of the Whole.

This Specimen will be put up at every Post-Office in the Kingdom.
