Notes
This registered cover with the telegraph cancel flew on the second leg of the return flight from Recife. Max Pruss commanded both legs from Rio to Recife and Recife to Frankfurt. Both legs had 56 crew members. The first leg had 27 passengers, the second 29 passengers. The first leg reportedly had no mail but probably mail posted aboard. The second leg had 238 kg of mail (probably delivered by airplane from Rio) plus board post.
