Letter was sent on sender's wish by steamboat over Stettin, see manuscript 'Dampfschiff via Stettin'. Just outside St. Petersburg the letter was collected at Kronstadt and shipped by either the steamboat 'Preussische Adler' or 'Wladimir' to Stettin.[2]. This journey took about 65-70 hours.[3].
Letters to southern France (Nice) were routed via Austria and Northern Italy. Italian red '5 LUG' handstamp applied, indicating receipt date of July 5 (July=luglio).
A transit 'TA3', handstamp was applied in Milan or Turin (then Austria) on mail to Nice. This was short for "Transit Autrichien". T.A.3. refers to the "third price" which is the rate for mail to Sardinia from a number of specific countries including Russia. There were also similar T.A.1. to T.A.5. marks for mail from other countries, indicating the first - fifth rate.
