Hello,
I want to buy this,
Because, Stuttgart means "Stutengarten" which means "Garden of mares" (female horses)
The seller's instructions are:
Württemberg / Bayern - Stuttgart 1848, Portobrief n. Hintenlang (Hindelang!) -
This: Hintenlang (Hindelang!), What does that mean?
Is it a train mail?
The back of the two postmarks are free?
What is the address on the cover?
Cover, red 6, and 9, is postage?
thank you very much!
Hintenlang is an incorrectly spelling for the right name Hindelang. The name comes from the earlier knights of Hundilanc.
The address is: Casp. (Caspar) Göht´s sel. Erben. The abbreviation sel. means selig (blessed), an additive for deceased people. The letter is for the heirs of Mr. Göht.

Sonthofen and Kempten were greater neighbour-towns of Hindelang (name today is: Bad Hindelang), may be, the letters to Hindelang to this time have been delivered about these towns.
I don`t believe, it is a train mail, because the first train mail in Germany opened in 1848 in the district Baden, Hindelang belongs to Bavaria.

Its 6 Kreuzers for Wurttemberg and 6 Kreuzers for Bavaria. Added its 12 Kreuzers.
From Kempten to Hindelang it was 1 Kreuzer more for the private mailman. So in the end the addressee paid 13 Kreuzers.
Yours
