(wm-pcp) As usual, this new issue offers readers a wealth of interesting topics written by renowned experts. Here are a few examples. Dr Heinrich Conzelmann looks at letters sent via the Post Office for America and the Comtoir der Schiffsbriefe in Hamburg to the USA, Horst Diederichs shares his new observations and open questions about postal notes, Dr. Winfried Leist discusses the postal notes of Thurn und Taxis after the Congress of Vienna in 1816–1867, and Michael Maaßen contributes an article on the founding of the ‘Evangelical Alliance,’ loosely based on the motto: ‘Social philately meets church history.’ This time, Robert Fürbeth contributes a special study to the series Postgeschichte und Altbriefkunde (Postal History and Old Letter Studies) on the topic ‘The Beginnings of the Swiss Federal Post Office and the Transition Period until the Conclusion of New Foreign Postal Agreements and the Applicability of the Swiss Letter Post Tariff of October 1849,’ which he expertly unfolds over 29 pages.
