25 II 93 local, non-local
Description: Here's an envelope that was initially addressed to "her", meaning local, and Åkebergveien No 44 as address (located on the hill past Grønland). In a different handwriting Xania is added. The cover is then franked with a 10 øre stamp for the regular domestic letter rate, and postmarked at BÆKKELAGET with their killer-postmark, sporting 4 pairs of syringe pipes to punch holes in the stamp.

These cancels were an invention of Throndsen, or rather an experiment, as they proved very unpopular many places.

One possible explanation is that the person was not going into town that day, and decided to mail the letter from Bækkelaget instead. Another would be that the sender arrived there by train in the morning, from downtown, and realized the letter had not been sent yet.

Anyway, the letter is back in Christiania for the 1PM delivery round of TUR3.
