Local Vienna registered cover, dated 2nd August addressed to an office which might be Auslaenderrewision. 8 Rpf postage plus the newly-introduced 30 Rpf registration fee makes a requirement for 38 Rpf. Counting 'properly' gives franking of 23 Rpf + (5x1+12+3) = 20 Gr = 13 Rpf, total only 36 Rpf. The five 1 Groschen stamps must have been counted as 1 Rpf each, plus 15 Gr = 10 Rpf plus 23 Rpf to make the total of 38 Rpf.
13th August. Local registered letter to government agency; rate 30 Rpf registration plus 8 Rpf postage; franked 12 Gr = 8 Rpf plus 30 Rpf makes 38 Rpf.
Dated 25 Sep. Destination unknown; the M on the registration label is from the special Grazer Messe post office. Registration fee 30 Rpf plus inland postage 12 Rpf needs 42 Rpf. Franked (25+8+5+12)Gr = 33 Rpf + 1 + 1 + 6 = 41 Rpf - near enough? Or, charged at the old registration rate of 27 Rpf? Strictly speaking, the two Winterhilfe stamps had been invalid since 1 July 1938!
