letters to the editor
	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!)
