Raguin Code: NEWS –9604

IT being found necessary that the Letters collected by the Bell-men should be brought to this Office earlier than at present, for the purpose of sorting them more correctly and insuring the punctual departure of the Mails. The Post-Master General has been pleased to establish a more expeditious mode of bringing the Letters from the West End of the Town than by Foot Messengers; and also to order, that on and after Monday, the 22nd inst. the Letter-Carriers do leave off ringing their bells at ½ past 5, instead of 6 o'clock, as at present.

ANTHONY TODD, Secretary.
