2 THE HARBOUR POST OFFICE

2.2 THE TRANSIT OF MAIL FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
The Polish post also
signed an agreement
with the postal
administration of
Latvia to transport
mail through the
Danzig harbour to the
USA. Probably this
was done because of
the regular connection
between Danzig and
the USA through
different shipping
companies. A handwritten Ł was
obligatory to indicate
that the parcel came
from Latvia but was
not always applied.
