And further, that you do not suffer on any Account whatever, any Person except Superior Officers of this Department of the Post~Office, to ride on your Mail Box, which Mail Box you must never leave unlocked, when the Mail is therein.

If you are ever seen Sleeping while on Duty, you will be dismissed, as you will be for disobeying any Part of these Orders.

THOMAS HASKER.

N. B. The above Orders have been all given before; but I have now the particular Commands of the Postmaster General to repeat them, and to desire you will read over your Instructions.
