6 added by Danish postal authorities as the rate for an unfranked domestic letter. Later crossed out, as, when the letter
passed through the Prussian postal administration, it was a service letter, and therefore free. Arriving from Lobeck in
K0benhavn, the letter was again treated as unpaid, a second 6 was added, and the recipient paid the postage.
