Sweden. H county. General mail. Very interesting letter dated "Calmar ... Aprill 1719' sent to Stockholm. With notation 'Porto bet. med 10 öre smt'. During the short period 1.3.1718–31.5.1719 the postage fees were doubled to cover Sweden's lousy finances, but were reestablshed to their original levels again on 1.7.1719. Only a few items exists to document this rare postage period. Ex. Kersti and Bertil. I. Larsson. Depicted in XpoNAT VII.
