Tosefta for Gittin 3:5

הַמֵּבִיא גֵט בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְחָלָה, הֲרֵי זֶה מְשַׁלְּחוֹ בְיַד אַחֵר. וְאִם אָמַר לוֹ טֹל לִי הֵימֶנָּה חֵפֶץ פְּלוֹנִי, לֹא יְשַׁלְּחֶנּוּ בְיַד אַחֵר, שֶׁאֵין רְצוֹנוֹ שֶׁיְּהֵא פִקְדוֹנוֹ בְיַד אַחֵר:

If one brought a get in Eretz Israel [in which instance he need not say: "Before me, it was written, and before me it was signed"], and he took ill, he may send it with another. [He may appoint the messenger himself, without resorting to beth-din (but only if he took ill)]. And if he [the husband] said to him: "Take this and this for me from her" [when you give her the get], he may not send it with another. For he does not wish what is his to be in another's hand.]
