To all whom it may concern:,,

Be it known that I, ALBERT G. BUZBY, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have inventerl a Postal-Pepper Tablet, of which the following is a s 'ieciiication:

The object of my invention is to make a tablet of a number of sheets of paper creased and gunnned ready for folding and securing in the shape of a letter or note, and yet so thoroughly pressed and snngly peel-cell that as long as each sheet constitutes a. part of the tablet, it can he written upon without any interference by the creaser with the writing;pen the tablet thus-constructed being especially serviceable for travelers or others whose cor rcspontlence is extensive.

- In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved tablet, which consists of n series of sheets, either rnletl. or plain, of paper oi the form shown, the bottom sheet of the tablet boin ltliieh sheet has opposite lips a a, onil on l: (l lip t ninlnll those lips are properly guninieil nntl (llQllSQ-tl, indented, or pnnctnreil on the lines on which they halve to lie foliled. lliinah sheet is also creased or intlentoil on the lines ff, so that when the sheet is rietllclinil it eon in: rezulily folded, first-on the lincf, their on the line f, after which the lips ti (t illii 3/ non turned down and gunnneil to the folded hotly of the letter.

1 It should be understood that while the creases or indentation facilitate the proper folding of the sheet when (lame-hell, they are so slight and the series of sheets are so tightly compressed together that the creases, as they appear on the face of the paper or the tablet, are oftoo incipient it character to inteziere with the continuous and convenient writing; on the sheet. it is only when the latter is detached and bent that creases nppuor prominently.

in. Fig. 2 each sheet has hul one giinnnoii. iip, ii, at one end, llllii o crease, 11., in the middle. a plan which only he adopted for letters with open enlist In Fig. 3 enoli sheet has two gnininetl lips, in anal n, znni hos one iflil lli'llllinn-i ninl two transverse creases, so illzlli the sheet may be folded to it square form and socnrml by the Qjlllllilli'rl folds in nninnor too evident to new description.
