ZANTE 1688 & SANTA MAURA (LEFKADA) 1697 - 14 Feb. 1688 EL (toned filing crease) from "Zante" to Venturini in "Livorno" endorsed "Con Nave. CSG" and having manuscript Forwarding Agent endorsement on the top flap; charged "3[2?]" presumably the Ship Letter rate from Sicily. Very early Forwarding Agent endorsement, and an early item with a postal rate from Zante. Plus 18 Apr. 1697 EL (in Greek; folds to show signature & date beside address) from "Sta. Maura" (internal filing note) to Venice, carried privately without postal rate. Possibly the earliest recorded letter from this small island in private hands? (2) Cross Reference: FORWARDING AGENTS, ITALIAN STATES, GREECE, EARLY LETTERS
