This letter is from Niemeyer and Leser, Dusternstraße 41, Hamburg 36, to Leser and Ahlers, Sarmiento 329, Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is marked at the top Mit D. 'MENDOZA' via Marseille. It bears a wide variety of stamps, of total value 90pf. All the stamps are cancelled with the usual roller HAMBURG 1 / Straßenbahn / 2.3.36 1920. There is a ringed 151 on the rear, and an indistinct arrival cancel ??? / 26 MAR 36 / ARGENTINA, suggesting that the ship took around three weeks for the crossing, though an angry-looking pencil calculation states '69 Days' - perhaps the letter was delayed after landing.
