The cover was endorsed "fr." in the lower left corner which was contrary to the regulations and normally the cover would have been charged with 2 skilling payable by the recipient. In this case the sender was contacted (either due to the name on the wax seal on the reverse or by advertising in 'Berlingske Politiske og Avertissementstidende') and the remaining "2" skilling were paid in cash at the post office.

According to the circular 8/1851 the letter was advertised in the 'Berlingske Politiske og Avertissementstidende' and the letter held at the post office to give the sender the opportunity to pay the missing 2 skilling. The sender paid the amount (noted at upper left); the "24" noted on the cover in red crayon is the record number of the letter in the list advertised. This procedure was only executed for a short period in 1851 and this letter is believed to be the only surviving example of an advertised letter. An outstanding item of Danish postal history. Certificates Moeller BPP (2002) and Nielsen (2006) Research in the Royal Copenhagen archives for issues of this official gazette showed that this list, copied from the archive, was the only such list of advertised letters published.
