Vienna, 26.9.1946 - special First Day cancel
From Straßhof an der Nordbahn to Czechoslovakia, 25.8.1947
This cover, dated 8.10.1947, is from a Viennese philatelist to another in Switzerland. There is a faint line ruled on the cover, to help him align the stamps! The enclosed letter makes interesting reading: "Unfortunately the crops are also very bad with us, and we again approach an unpleasant winter. Little coal, little light, little gas, food always still in insufficient amount, and government employees like me are unfortunately not in the financial situation to be able to buy additional food on the black market." It's surprising the censor passed it; the letter itself has the same censor mark as the cover.
