And that no letter should exceed 5 ounces That the postages on all the letters to be sent by that route should be prepaid excepting those the Indian postage should be paid on, that is, the postages of letters for delivery in Great Britain and Ireland.

And upon those the Indian postage should be paid that Soldiers' and Seamens' and all other letters excepting those on Her Majesty's service £98 should be equally liable to the postage.
