Notice the exhortation to prepay the postage, this is
before the present day system of postage stamps paid by the
sender. In 1795 payment for carrying a letter was usually
arranged between the carrier and the person receiving the
letter; you had to pay for a letter you then discovered you
did not want! (Hmm: shades of junk mail and internet
spam!)
