The sender has omitted both the dipartement and arrondissement numbers from what should
have been 13 Marseille 6e. The P.L.M. coding desk operator has therefore coded the item 13KKK,
usually reserved for dipartement majoriti mail. Upon arrival at the Marseille-Gare sorting office

the letter has been processed again using the direct sorting equipment to forward it to Marseille-

Cantini to await collection at the poste restante counter.
