The letter was disinfected in Giurgevo on the Romanian shore of the Danube, punched for fumigation and the process was noted on top of the cover in manuscript with "Kar.(antina) Giurgiu / 4 June 1838 S'au Curatit (cleaned), and signature" and a corresponding carantine handstamp was struck below inscrined "KARANTINA GIURGIU" (Kiriac fig. 130). A fascinating item of early Danube Shipmail and Disinfection in Romania.
