1835 - 1850 Folded Letter to Skujene (Latvia), Wax Seal

Germany / Prephilately (... 1849)

The letter is addressed to "Pastor Müthel" in Schujen who served as the pastor of Schujen from 1835 to 1870. Schujen is the German name for the town of Skujene in present-day Latvia. At the time this was written, it was part of the Russian Empire's Livonian Governorate.

The black ink postmark "Iюня" (June) is written in Cyrillic. Since Schujen was a smaller parish, the letter likely arrived first at a larger regional post office, such as Wenden (Cēsis), before being delivered to the pastorate. Johann Christian Müthel was a notable figure in Baltic-German history. He was highly active in improving the Latvian school system and contributed to the "Latvian Literary Society".
