Order
That in any case where the money may be sent without a Remittance, a letter of advice to them will, if possible, be enclosed in the cancelled mail, but that payment is not to be refused on account of such letters not having come to hand, as in that case it would follow by the next mail, which is due in London in a week.
But that should the next packet from China, whether French or English, arrive without such letter of advice, then they are to telegraph immediately, and to furnish no further funds pending reply.
These precautions would effectually prevent any advantage being taken of the arrangement by a dishonest postmaster.
