EN ROUTE IN POLAND - GERMAN SOLDIER'S LETTER WITH "No.13/GRANDE-ARMEE" EX SZTUM (POLAND) TO SAXONY; 29 May 1812 EL (some light dusting; written in German) headed from "West Preussen" to Winsen an der Luhe (Saxony) but with manuscript "Pr. Ortlesburg" on the front along with a mainly very fine "No.13/GRANDE-ARMEE" mark and "16" delivery charge. Ortelsburg (now Szczytno) is a small town in NE Poland only about 60 miles from the Russian border. The contents, which would repay careful transcription and translation, mention several towns including "Lichfelde" (now Jasna; 16 miles NE of Sztum). Cross Reference: POLAND, FRANCE, GERMAN STATES
