PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Combined Wrapper or Envelope and Letter Sheet
or Memorandum Sheet.
I, EDWARD MANN of Palace Chambers, Westminster, Gentleman do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
According to my invention I make a combined wrapper or envelope and letter
sheet or memorandum sheet of such a construction that when folded in the manner
to be described the address written on the face of the letter sheet shall form the
address on the outside, while the remaining spaces written on shall be covered and
hidden from observation by being closed on three out of the four sides on all four
sides or left open at both ends. The body of this wrapper or envelope sheet is
made in square or rectangular form and has on one part or half (say the left) an
upper prolongation of a size equal to that of the folded article and with one two or
three gummed flaps. The body which I call the writing space is by vertical
perforations divided a convenient distance down into a left and a right hand field.
The aforesaid upper prolongation is provided with an upper gummed flap with or
without a lateral gummed flap on the left or lateral gummed flaps on right and left
hand. Or the right hand side of the writing sheet may be extended up to or
partly so to the upper gummed flap. The writing space and if desired the whole of
the back of same can be written on. When the letter or memorandum has been
written and the address put in on the upper prolongation or left hand upper space
the upper part is severed along the perforations so that this upper right hand part
can be folded down upon the face of the bottom part, these folded parts are then
folded back over the lower left hand part and these parts folded again as required
and finally folded under the upper left hand part and fastened down by the gummed
flap or flaps all according as the article is made for the ends to be left open or one
of them, or both closed.
This invention is particularly useful for telegram forms the necessary official
notifications, directions and other particulars being printed on the face of the
article.
It is also useful for letters, memoranda, invoices, circulars and the like, with one
or both ends open, as required.

SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Combined Wrapper or Envelope and Letter Sheet
or Memorandum Sheet.
I, EDWARD MANN of Palace Chambers Westminster Gentleman do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
According to my invention I make a combined wrapper or envelope and letter
sheet or memorandum sheet of such a construction that when folded in the manner
to be described the address written on the face of the letter sheet shall form the
address on the outside while the remaining spaces written on shall be covered and
hidden from observation by being closed on three out of the four sides on all four sides
or left open at both ends. The body of this wrapper or envelope sheet is made in

page_text: square or rectangular form and has on one part or half (say the left) an upper
prolongation of a size equal to that of the folded article and with one two or three
gummed flaps.
The body which I call the writing space is by a vertical line of perforations
divided a convenient distance down into a left and a right hand field.
The writing space and if desired the whole of the back of same can be written
on. The invention is applicable for letters memoranda invoices circulars and the
like with one or both ends open as required. It is also particularly useful for
telegram forms.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings shews as example a letter sheet of my
construction. The body A. B. C. D of the sheet has on the left an upper
prolongation E of a size equal to that of A which is of the size of the folded article.
The body or writing space A. B. C. D. is by a vertical line of perforations divided
into a left hand field A and a right hand field C. The upper prolongation E is
provided with an upper gummed flap G and a lateral gumined flap on the left or
the latter flap may be omitted or there may be a gummed flap on the right or a
gummed flap on each side.
The part C may be continued up to the gummed flap G with the perforations
also continued up.
To use the article the writing is done on the writing space A. B. C. D. as
indicated on Figure 1 and if desired also on the whole of the back of same
indicated by A B C D¹ on Figure 2 which is a view of the opposite side of the
article.
When the letter or memorandum has been written and the address put in as
shewn on the upper left prolongation E the upper part A C is severed along the
perforations so that the upper right hand part C Figure 1 can be folded down upon
the face of the bottom part A. These folded parts A. C. are then folded back
over the left hand part B¹ and these parts folded against the part A¹ and finally
folded under the part E and fastened down by the gummed flaps F and G or
otherwise all according as the article is made for the ends to be left open or one of
them or both closed.
Figure 3 shews the back and Figure 4 the front side of the folded and closed
article.
Figures 5. 6. 7. and 8 shew corresponding views of a telegram form the necessary
official notifications directions and other particulars being printed on the face of the
article as here indicated as an example. The same letters indicate corresponding parts
of the first described article, the spaces available for writing the mode of severing the
parts along the line of perforations and the mode of folding being also the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
First. A combined wrapper or envelope and writing sheet or memorandum sheet
substantially of the shape described and having a vertical row of perforations
dividing part of the sheet a convenient distance down into a left hand and a right
hand field for the purpose of enabling the folding to be effected when the article is
severed along the line of perforations by which construction facility is given for
utilizing a large part of the sheet for writing on while the writing may as desired
or required be hidden when the article is folded substantially as set forth.
Second. The construction of combined wrapper or envelope and writing sheet
memorandum sheet and telegram form shewn on the drawing.
