This letter is ex collection Arnold Engel so a brief note says. I did not mention this in the description, since i was not able to verify it. Arnold Engel, an APS member for 35 years, passed away in 2014. He was a well known person in the Philadelphia area, specializing in Germany and the Baltic states, especially Latvian postal history. Awards:

A large part of his collection was auctioned at Cherrystone in May 2013 (lots 1564 and 1566). Engel wrote several articles e.g.. A brief review of Latvia's postal history.
