Brest – Litovsk Treaty Mail
The March 1918 Treaty with Soviet Russia provided for the resumption of mail services between Russia and Austria, Germany and Occupied areas of Russia, Ukraine and South Russia. The Foreign Tariff of 12 March 1918 was applied and caused some confusion because the Foreign rates were lower than the Domestic rates in force.
June 1918 Registered cover from Moscow to German-occupied Lodz, correctly franked at 60 kop. Mocow and German censor marks on front. Re-addressed with paper slip to Sieradz with LODZ 18 6 18 and SIERADZ 21 6 18 receiver marks on reverse. Mail sent under the Treaty does not appear to start before May or June
