The first section is scored through, and reads: 'There must surely be some mistake here | It gives a difference of nearly 5 hours between London & Exeter, & what could have been the use of the slow mail?' The second section reads: 'Upon further consideration & looking I see the slow mail is only a prolongation of the Bath mail, & practically therefore is only a local mail.'
