RARE ‘1st day’ first mail to Jerusalem after siege + docketed arrival: 18 June 1948 postmarked registered cover sent from HAIFA to optician in JERUSALEM, franked 25 mils per period postage rate (10m domestic letter + 15m registry fee) & tied by 2x strikes of HAIFA-2 postmark on front + 1x on back; cut open at left. Mail addressed to Jerusalem in the siege period of late April – mid-June is quite rare, especially registered mail. Regular postal service with Jerusalem resumed this day with the 1st convoy authorized to travel by the newly reopened main Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway; it brought much mail from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv but very little is known about mail addressed to Jerusalem from outside the city and how or when it arrived. As per the amended sender’s name on back and the number “20” below, the addressee likely noted the information based on the letter which was sent and “20” is likely the docketing arrival date of 20 June. This is exceptionally rare as the mail which was addressed to Jerusalem was not postally marked upon arrival and there are too few proving covers to confirm on which date / convoy the mail may have been transported. Contrary to what is written in the specialist literature, from 18 June onwards there were convoys to Jerusalem (from Tel Aviv) virtually every day including on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, and not only on the 18th and 21st as generally written – here we see apparent proof that mail to Jerusalem was carried on the convoy of Sunday June 20th. These findings and more are now published in “JerusalemStamps Bulletin #3” on the subject of 1948 postal history of Jerusalem in the siege period.
