One officer from each relief should attend to the taking in of correspondence at the Boxholder's window.

He should sit at a table facing the window & his time would be filled in by keeping the postmen's book & Pillar boxes books, & by copying work. He could also keep the circular book. To deal in an efficient manner with unpaid correspondence received would occupy the greater portion of the time of one officer from each shift of duties. The books to be kept are – the books supplied to boxholders, at present 133 in number; the large book in which unpaid correspondence for boxholders is first entered; the Town book in which unpaid correspondence for non-boxholders is entered & the postmen's book in which each postman is debited with the unpaid postage he has to collect. A further book should be provided in which should be entered unpaid correspondence kept till called for. The officers in charge of unpaid correspondence in addition to keeping the books mentioned would have to fill up & send out the printed forms used in the cases where unpaid correspondence is kept till called for.
