payable to him at the Vere Street Office, London, W.; but any cheque on a banker's or any 
other house of business in London will be equally available, it made payable on demand. In 
obtaining post-office orders care should be taken to give the postmaster the correct initials 
and surname of the Secretary of the Society (H. M. Jenkins), otherwise the payment 
will be refused to him at the post-office on which such order has been obtained; and when 
remitting the money-orders it should be stated by whom, and on whose accuunt, they are sent.

unless the letter be registered.
