WHereas severall printed Papers have been scattered up and down the Cities of London , and Westminster , and in many considerable Townes and places in England and Scotland , intimating , that if any persons send their Letters by the Old Post , they will have a free and safe going and coming , but if they send by the New Undertakers , their passage will be interrupted , which we cannot but look upon as a Design on purpose to deter all persons from bringing their Letters to us , which Design we perceive is still carried on , as appears by a busie Pamphleteer in his last weekly book of severall Proceedings , in which the said Paper is recited , as if the State had allowed thereof . And though divers persons imployed by us in the carriage of our Mayle , have of late under false colours and pretences been much affronted and interrupted by some malitious Post-Masters and others , acting only upon the account of Self-interest , yet against them we are ( upon good advice ) proceeding by severall Actions and Indictments , and doubt not of Justice and reparation , according to due course of Law , all such interruption being contrary to the Law of the Land . And whereas we have hitherto gone on , and resolve still to proceed in the management of our honest and just undertaking ( which hath already been so serviceable to this Nation ) in a legall and warrantable way : Now for the future prevention of abuses and affronts to those persons that shall be imployed by us , and to the end the people of this Nation may not be deceived by those false suggestions and pretences , which hitherto have been published only to delude them and abuse us ; We whose names are hereunto subscribed , being the first Undertakers for the speedy conveyance of Letters at half the Rates to severall parts of England and Scotland , do hereby declare to all Gentlemen , Merchants , and other persons whatsoever , that we do intend resolvedly ( by the help of God ) to continue the management of this our undertaking , and for the further accommodation of all men of businesse , and for improvement of Trade , to carry to places not formerly supplied , with the like conveyance ; as also to add one day more weekly for the sending out of Letters , ( that is to say ) Thursdaies as well as Tuesdaies and Saturdaies , and to have returns answerably , the first Thursday to begin the 28. of this present April , and the same places of receipt to continue as formerly , we having received much incouragement by ingenuous and publike minded people , and no discouragement at all from Supreme Authority , nor can it rationally be imagined , that ever they will countenance the Disturbers of so publike and beneficiall an undertaking .
