so enclosing both letter and newspaper, or serving as envelope and wrapper combined.
It is proposed to form the pocket by gumming or otherwise fastening to a wrapper
three edges of a rectangular piece of paper, the free edge of this paper being parallel
to the gummed edge of the wrapper; or pieces of paper to form the pocket are to
be left as side-pieces or wings to the original wrapper, these being turned back and

I, THOMAS DAWE, of Ambleside, Maidstone Road, Chatham, Schoolmaster,
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:
On the inside of a newspaper and the like wrapper a pocket is formed to serve as
a receptacle for letters and like articlos, this pocket being so placed that when it
contains a letter, the wrapper may be conveniently wrapped around' a newspaper,
so enclosing both letter and newspaper, and thus serving as envelope and news-
paper wrapper combined. This pocket is to be formed in one or other of the
following ways:
-
(1) By gumming to a wrapper three of the sides of a rectangular piece of paper;
the free edge of this paper (and therefore the opening of the pocket) being parallel
to the gummed edge of the wrapper.
(2) By leaving two rectangular side pieces or wings on the opposite sides of the
wrapper and turning them back over the wrapper so that one overlaps the other.
The sides that meet are gummed together, and the free edges on one side are
gummed to the wrapper, the opening of pocket being as in (1).
(3) By leaving one rectangular side-piece or wing to a wrapper and turning it
PRI

the opening of pocket being as in (1).
(4) By turning up the end of a wrapper and gumming the sides of the piece so
turned up to the sides of the wrapper, the opening of pocket being as in (1).
The term "gumming" includes any convenient mode of fastening.
The free edge of pocket may be hollowed out somewhat, to allow of letters being
more easily withdrawn from it.
A notice may be printed on the outside of wrapper to call the attention of the
recipient to the fact that a letter is enclosed.
The combined wrapper and envelope may be made of paper or of any other suitable
material.
