    Incoming Mail 1763 (April 9): Entire letter from Speyer to St. Diez, Lorraine endorsed 'p. Strasbourg' with manuscript despatch "de Spire" and struck on entry at Strabourg with "R:HAVSEN" straight line in black (Van der Linden fig. 2431, earliest recorded usage), and charged '8' sols due upon delivery. A rare entire, the 'Rheinhausen' marking is misleading in that the letter went nowhere near the town itself.
