The message reads, in part, 'I have received your mailing of 11.3. today, as well as the transfer from Leonberg, thank you very much! I can give you something from your missing list, unfortunately not much, because I would have to break up the sets... Would you take (possibly in exchange) unused D. Reich, Michel 730/733 each 8 pieces, 734 10 pieces, 735/736 each 8 pieces? 737/38 unfortunately nothing.... As you informed me that you have the second part of the Michel 1944/45, would you not leave it with me... so that I can make additions to the Michel 1943...'
Notes: Mi.730 to Mi.738 refer to the Winter Relief Buildings set of nine values, issued on the 27th October and 9th November 1939.
In the Michel Monats Berichte No1. September 1941the Hitler Head issues are catalogues 781-798. This is the same in their German Specialised of 2016. However, due to the inclusion of high value Hitler Head definitives (of 1944), the catalogue numbering is thrown out of sequence.
So, the 9th September 1941 issue for horseracing, 'The Grand Prize of the Reich Capital City', catalogued in 1941 as Mi.799, is now catalogued as Mi.803.
