When a telegram was delivered to a recipient informing him/her that a Money Order was waiting at the Post Office, a small docket was often attached to or enclosed with the telegram inside the delivery envelope. These dockets sometimes had a small strip of glue on the reverse side. It is not clear when these dockets were introduced. Examples of these advice dockets from two different times follow:
