**Memorandum**
- During courier dispatches, even official communications (goyōjō) of various kinds shall be made as light and compact as possible.
- Regarding letters entrusted [to official couriers] through personal connections (tejiru) on behalf of officials: as has been repeatedly communicated previously, the forwarding of such letters shall absolutely not be done.
