To all ingenuous People: A second Intimation from the New undertakers for conveyance of Letters at half the rates to several parts of England and Scotland. WHereas several printed Papers have been scattered up and down the Cities of London, and Westminster, and in many considerable towns 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 busy Pamphleteer in his last weekly book of several Proceedings, in which the said Paper is recited, as if the State had allowed thereof. And though divers persons employed by us in the carriage of our mail, have of late under false colours and pretences been much affronted and interrupted by some malicious postmasters and others, acting only upon the account of Self-interest, yet against them we are (upon good advice) proceeding by several 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 legal and warrantable way: Now for the future prevention of abuses and affronts to those persons that shall be employed 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 several 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 business, 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 Tuesdays and Saturdays, 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 encouragement by ingenuous and public 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 public and beneficial an undertaking.
