We, PERCY LLEWELLYN FISON, of The Square, Ripon, in the County of York,
Bank Manager, and HARTLEY ILLINGWORTH, of Bingwood Terrace, Ripon,
aforesaid, Clerk, 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:-
Our invention refers to prior Letters Patent granted to us on the 18th day of
November A.D. 1893 No. 22087. Our previous invention consisted of a new and
novel form of card, envelope or packet adaptable for receiving coins or small
articles of jewellery or other articles of value such as cheques, bank notes etc.,
the said card, envelope or packet being intended to be transmitted by post.
Our
present invention consists in combining with such card or envelope a sheet of note
paper or card on which communications may be written after the form of a letter.
Such being the nature and object of our invention we will now proceed to
describe the same more fully, and for that purpose make reference to the
accompanying sheet of drawings, wherein
Fig. 1 shews two cards A and B covered or partially covered with thin musiin or
other like fabric or material in which there are pockets C for containing coins or
other articles of value. The two cards A and B are provided with flaps D which
may be folded over the cards in the form of au envelope as shewn in Fig. 2 for
the purpose of being transmitted by post or otherwise, the said pockets C ensuring
that the coins are kept separate from each other and that they do not get loose or
shake about. In connection with this coin carrying card or envelope, we combine
a sheet of paper or card E which may be used for writing upon by the person
transmitting the card.
Fig. 3 illustrates two stout cards A and B one of the said cards being recessed
or countersunk at G into which coins may be placed, afterwards the adjoining
card A may be turned over or folded onto the card B. In combination with this
form of card, we attach a sheet of paper or card E upon which the sender of the
card may write. This recessed card together with the sheet of paper or card E
may be put into an envelope for transmission by post or otherwise.
Fig. 4 at A represents a card like that in Fig. 3, but in this .case the said card,

page_text: in addition to being countersunk at G is provided with flaps D which may be
folded over as shewn in dotted lines, whereby a separate envelope would be
dispensed with. In combination with this form of envelope we attach a sheet of
paper or card E for the sender to write communications upon.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-

reception of coius or other articles of value, such card, packet or envelope having
combined with it a sheet of paper or card E for purposes described.
